Napomáhám

Napomáhám is the first-person singular present tense of the Czech verb napomáhat, which means to help, assist, or facilitate. The nuance ranges from ordinary aid to more formal or even legal senses, such as abetting or encouraging a result, including wrongdoing in some contexts.

Napomáhat is imperfective. The present tense forms are: já napomáhám, ty napomáháš, on/ona/ono napomáhá, my napomáháme, vy napomáháte, oni napomáhají.

The prefix na- adds a sense of directing effort toward a goal; napomáhám therefore often means actively contributing to an outcome, rather than a single act of help. In legal contexts napomáhat can mean to abet or to facilitate a crime.

Usage notes and examples: Napomáhám při organizaci akce. This indicates I am helping with the organization of an event. Napomáhání k dosažení cíle is a common noun form referring to contributing toward achieving a goal. V právním smyslu může napomáhat trestnému činu, meaning to abet a criminal act. In everyday language, napomáhám is commonly used for practical assistance, while more formal or legal nuances may require other expressions such as pomáhat or přispívat.
