Questions & Answers about Chci zablokovat debetní kartu.

What does chci mean, and what is its base form?

Chci means I want.

Its base form is chtít, which means to want.
This is the 1st person singular present tense form:

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

In this sentence, Czech does not need the subject pronoun já because chci already clearly shows that the subject is I.

Why is there no word for I in the sentence?

Czech often leaves out subject pronouns when they are obvious from the verb form.

So:

• Chci zablokovat debetní kartu. = I want to block the debit card / my debit card.

You could say Já chci zablokovat debetní kartu, but that usually sounds more emphatic, like I want to block it.

Why is zablokovat used here instead of blokovat?
