Czech: výt and vít after V
Výt means to howl; vít means to weave, for example a wreath. Picture the action, because pronunciation alone does not distinguish them.
| Example | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| vlk vyje | This is a sound, so it belongs to výt. |
| vít věnec | This is weaving flowers, so use vít. |
