Dosud čekáme na rozhodnutí.

Dosud means so far, until now, or still depending on context.

In Dosud čekáme na rozhodnutí, it gives the idea of:

• so far we are waiting
• more naturally in English: we are still waiting for a decision

It sounds a bit more formal or bookish than ještě in many situations.

Čekáme is the 1st person plural present tense of čekat (to wait).

So:

• čekám = I wait / I am waiting
• čekáš = you wait
• čeká = he/she/it waits
• čekáme = we wait / we are waiting
• čekáte = you plural/formal wait
• čekají = they wait

Czech present tense often covers both English simple present and present continuous, so čekáme can mean both:

• we wait
• we are waiting

In this sentence, English usually prefers we are still waiting.

In Czech, subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

Here, -áme in čekáme tells you the subject is we.

So:

• Čekáme na rozhodnutí. = We are waiting for a decision.
• My čekáme na rozhodnutí. also means the same, but my is usually added only for emphasis or contrast.

For example:

• My čekáme, oni už odešli. = We are waiting, but they already left.

The verb čekat commonly takes the preposition na when you are waiting for someone or something.

So the pattern is:

• čekat na + accusative

Examples:

• čekat na vlak = to wait for the train
• čekat na kamaráda = to wait for a friend
• čekat na rozhodnutí = to wait for a decision

So na here is the normal preposition required by the verb, much like English for in wait for.

Here rozhodnutí is in the accusative, because čekat na takes the accusative.

The reason it looks unchanged is that rozhodnutí is a neuter noun of a type whose nominative and accusative singular are identical.

So:

• nominative: rozhodnutí
• accusative: rozhodnutí

That is completely normal.

This noun means decision, and it comes from the verb rozhodnout / rozhodovat (to decide).

It is a noun, but it is closely connected to the verb rozhodnout (to decide).

Rozhodnutí is a common Czech noun meaning:

• decision
• in some contexts, also ruling or judgment

So in this sentence it functions just like an ordinary noun:

• na rozhodnutí = for a decision

Learners often notice that many Czech nouns ending in -ní or -tí are related to verbal ideas, and rozhodnutí is a good example of that pattern.

Yes, very often you can, and in everyday speech ještě is often the more common choice.

Compare:

• Dosud čekáme na rozhodnutí.
• Ještě čekáme na rozhodnutí.

Both can mean We are still waiting for a decision.

A rough difference:

• dosud = a bit more formal, sometimes closer to so far / until now
• ještě = very common, everyday still

So if you are speaking casually, ještě may sound more natural in many situations.

Yes. Czech word order is flexible, and changing it can shift emphasis.

The neutral sentence is:

• Dosud čekáme na rozhodnutí.

Other possible orders include:

• Čekáme dosud na rozhodnutí.
• Na rozhodnutí dosud čekáme.

These alternatives are possible, but they may sound less neutral or place emphasis on a different part of the sentence.

For example:

• Na rozhodnutí dosud čekáme. puts more focus on the decision.

For learners, the original order is a very good default.

Čekat is imperfective.

That makes sense because waiting is usually seen as an ongoing process, not a completed event.

In this sentence, the imperfective verb fits naturally because the idea is:

• the waiting is continuing
• the decision has not arrived yet

A perfective verb would not normally be used here for the same meaning.

So:

• čekáme = we are waiting / we keep waiting

This is exactly the kind of situation where Czech prefers the imperfective.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

DO-sut CHE-kaa-me na ROZ-hod-nu-tyi

A few helpful notes:

• č sounds like ch in church
• á is a long vowel
• ř does not appear in this sentence, even though learners may expect it in words beginning with roz-
• nutí has a long ú/ů-like vowel sound written here as ú in pronunciation terms, even though the spelling is -nutí

A more accurate approximate pronunciation is:

[DO-sut CHE-kaa-me na ROZ-hod-noo-tyee]

It is basically neutral, but dosud gives it a slightly more formal or written feel than some everyday alternatives.

So:

• Dosud čekáme na rozhodnutí. = neutral to slightly formal
• Ještě čekáme na rozhodnutí. = more everyday conversational

You might easily see dosud in:

• news
• business communication
• official updates
• written reports

But it is not unnatural or wrong in speech. It just sounds a bit more polished.
