Nakoupí

Nakoupí is a Czech verb, the third-person singular present form of nakoupit, meaning to buy in quantity or to stock up. It is a perfective verb, implying a completed action; in everyday speech its present tense often conveys near-future meaning, as in the sentence Zítra nakoupí potraviny (He will buy groceries tomorrow).

The infinitive is nakoupit; the imperfective counterpart is nakupovat. The past forms are nakoupil (masculine), nakoupila (feminine), nakoupilo (neuter). The first-person singular present is nakoupím, used for “I will buy” in the near future, and the other forms follow regular conjugation: nakoupíš, nakoupí, nakoupíme, nakoupíte, nakoupí.

Usage notes: nakoupí takes a direct object, usually a thing being bought, often with nouns such as potraviny (groceries), zboží (goods), or zásoby (supplies). Common collocations include nakoupit potraviny na celý týden and nakoupit ve slevách. The nuance is that the action is presented as a completed purchase, often with the sense of securing needed items or stocking up.

Etymology: nakoupí is formed from the verb koupit (to buy) with the prefix na-, indicating completion or accumulation. The noun nákup means a purchase.
