Questions & Answers about Žadatel chce trvalý příkaz a inkaso.

Why is Žadatel in this form? What case is it?

Žadatel is the subject of the sentence, so it is in the nominative case.

• žadatel = applicant / requester
• nominative singular: žadatel

In this sentence, Žadatel is the person who is doing the action of wanting.

A learner may also notice that this is a masculine animate noun. In real-life use, it can sometimes function as a general label like the applicant, even if English might use a more gender-neutral word.

Why is it chce and not chtít?

Chtít is the dictionary form (the infinitive), meaning to want.

In the sentence, the verb has to agree with the subject Žadatel, which is third person singular (he/she/the applicant), so we use:

• já chci = I want
• ty chceš = you want
• on/ona chce = he/she wants

So:

• Žadatel chce ... = The applicant wants ...

So chce is the correct conjugated form of chtít.
