Template:cs-conj-forms/documentation

Usage
A template for displaying conjugation forms of Czech verbs.

Minimum required parameters
For most verbs, the following minimum required parameters should suffice to create a complete conjugation table.

Examples
Example for the verb

Result

Irregular imperatives
Some verbs have less regular conjugation and for example plural imperatives cannot be derived simply by adding a suffix to the singular imperative. In such a case, more parameters are recquired, such as for the verb :

Filling automatically left-out parameters
If some of the parameters mentioned in the section Minimum required parameters (except the parameter "future") is missing, all other dependent cells are filled with a dash (—). For example if the parameter "passive ms" is left empty, all cells with passive participles are filled with a dash. This can be overwritten by filling a parameter for the specific form (e. g.  for passive neuter singular).

The word does not have passive participles with the exception of neuter singular. Leaving  empty and filling   generates the following table:

Two forms in one cell
Some words may need two forms in some of the cells. This can be achieved by filling the particular parameter with both forms in square brackets (e. g. ), but this possibility cannot be used with parameters on which more cells depend. In such a case another parameter marked with number 2 has to be added:

…
 * ps 1s = orám
 * ps 1s2 = ořu
 * pf 3s = orá
 * pf 3s2 = oře
 * pf 3p = orají
 * pf 3p2 = ořou
 * im 2s = orej
 * im 2s2 = oř
 * past ms= oral

Result

Colloquial forms of the kupovat pattern
The verbs which are conjugated according to the pattern have also colloquial forms in 1st person present singular and 3r person present plural. These can be shown as follows:

…
 * pf 1s=kupuji
 * pf 1s col=kupuju
 * pf 3s=kupuje
 * pf 3p=kupují
 * pf 3p col=kupujou

Result

Future tense
Most verbs do not have distinct present and future forms in Czech language and so the table has just a short note on forming the future tense for the particular verb. Perfective verbs form use their present forms to express the future, which is indicated in the table as follows:

…
 * pf 3s = pustí
 * im 2s = pusť
 * aspect = p

Result

Imperfective verbs usually form the future in combination with :

...
 * pf 1s=beru
 * pf 3s=bere
 * pf 3p=berou
 * im 2s=ber
 * aspect = i}}

Result

Negative imperfective verbs need one more parameter, the positive form of the verb:

...
 * pf 3s=nemá
 * pf 3p=nemají
 * im 2s=neměj
 * aspect=ni
 * positive=mít}}

Result

Some verbs can be used in both perfective and imperfective aspects, such as :

... ...
 * pf 3s=jmenuje
 * pf 3p=jmenují
 * aspect=p-i}}

Result

Some negative verbs can also be used in both perfective and imperfective aspects, such as :

... ...
 * pf 3s=nejmenuje
 * pf 3p=nejmenují
 * aspect=p-ni
 * positive=jmenovat}}

Result

There are a few exceptions of verbs which have future forms made by a prefix: ...
 * pf 3s=letí
 * im 2s=leť
 * future=po}}

Result

Negative verbs which have future do not need the parameter "future" but need other additional parameters:

...
 * pf 3s=neletí
 * im 2s=neleť
 * ff 3s=nepoletí

Result

...
 * pf 1s=nejedu
 * pf 3s=nejede
 * pf 3p=nejedou
 * im 2s=nejeď
 * ff 1s=nepojedu
 * ff 3s=nepojede
 * ff 3p=nepojedou
