7.4 – čekat ‘to wait’
There are going to be instances where you need to wait for someone, so you’ll need the verb čekat ‘to wait’. Of course we’re usually waiting for someone or something, so we’ll typically say čekat na něco/někoho ‘to wait for someone/something’. As you can see, čekat na is followed by the accusative case. In this way, it is a lot like dívat se ‘to watch, look at’ or koukat (se) ‘to watch, look at’.
