Dodávají

Dodávají is third-person plural present tense of the Czech verb dodávat, meaning to supply or deliver. It is used to describe ongoing or regular provision of goods, services, or resources by a subject such as a company, agency, or supplier. As an imperfective verb, dodávat emphasizes repeated or habitual action, and its perfective counterpart is dodat; the corresponding future form is dodají.

Etymology and form: the verb is formed from the prefix do- combined with the root dávat (to give). This construction conveys the idea of providing or delivering something to a recipient, often in a business or logistical context.

Usage and contexts: dodávají appears in contexts such as commerce, logistics, utilities, health care, and media. It commonly appears in statements about supply chains, contracts, or service provision. Examples include: Dodávají zboží na objednávku. Distribuční společnost dodává pitnou vodu do regionu. Energetické firmy dodávají elektřinu domácnostem i firmám. In practical usage, it can describe regular deliveries, emergency supplies, or ongoing service provision.

Notes: while dodávat is imperfective, it contrasts with its perfective counterpart dodat, whose forms (for example, dodají) express a completed action or a future delivery. The form dodávají thus marks present, ongoing supply, whereas dodají often signals a forthcoming delivery or a completed supply in a future-focused context.

In Czech-language prose and formal communication, dodávají is a common, neutral way to describe the act of supplying or delivering items or services.
