Odesílám

Odesílám is the first-person singular present tense form of the Czech imperfective verb odesílat, meaning to send off or to dispatch. It corresponds to actions that are habitual, ongoing, or not yet completed. The verb is part of the imperfective aspect, with its perfective counterpart being odeslat, which denotes a single, completed sending action.

Grammatically, odesílat behaves like other Czech imperfective verbs formed with the prefix od- and the -ít group. The present tense forms are: já odesílám, ty odesíláš, on/ona odesílá, my odesíláme, vy odesíláte, oni odesílají. The perfective form odešlu (and related forms) belongs to the corresponding perfective verb odeslat, used for a one-time sending action or a completed delivery. In many contexts, speakers choose the imperfective form to stress the process or repetition, while the perfective form highlights completion.

Usage and context are common in everyday Czech, especially with mail, messages, and orders. Examples include: Odesílám e-mail. Odesílám balík na adresu. Odesílám objednávku. These phrases are typical in formal and informal communication, including online correspondence and logistics.

Related terms and note: odesílat is the standard imperfective form; posílat can also mean to send, often with a broader sense of "to mail" or "to dispatch." The prefix od- in these verbs conveys a sense of sending away or dispatching. Odesílám is widely used in personal and professional communication.
