Proudím

Proudím is the first-person singular present tense form of a Czech verb meaning to flow or to stream. It is used to describe liquids, gases, or other substances moving in a continuous current, for example a river flowing between rocks or water moving through a pipe. The sense can also be extended metaphorically to describe things that proceed in a steady, unbroken way, such as a stream of words, thoughts, or information. The related noun proud denotes a current or flow, reflecting the same core idea of movement along a path.

Grammar and usage: In the present tense the verb follows the regular -ím, -íš, -í endings: proudím, proudíš, proudí; proudíme, proudíte, proudí. It is imperfective, suitable for ongoing or repeated actions. The noun proud and the related noun proudění (the act or process of flowing) are closely connected in meaning, and the verb can take on both physical and figurative senses depending on context.

Examples: Řeka proudí mezi skalami. Slova proudí z jeho úst. Jeho myšlenky proudí. (The river flows between the rocks. Words pour forth from his mouth. His thoughts are flowing.)
