Lepím

Lepím is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Czech verb lepit, which means to glue, paste, or affix something with adhesive. The verb is transitive and typically requires a direct object in the accusative; it is used in everyday speech for crafts, construction, repairs, and packaging. For example: "Lepím papír na stěnu" means I am gluing paper to the wall.

Conjugation and aspect: lepit is imperfective. In the present tense the forms are lepím, lepíš, lepí, lepíme, lepíte, lepí. The action is described as ongoing or repeated. The perfective counterpart is polepit, which expresses completion of the gluing; in contexts of future action it is used as "polepím" (I will glue on / I will cover with), among other forms, to indicate a completed or upcoming act.

Nominal forms related to the verb include lepení, the noun denoting the act of gluing, and lepidlo, the noun for glue or adhesive used with the verb.
