Snímá

Snímá is the present tense, third-person singular form of the Czech verb snímat. The core meaning is to record or capture something with a device, most often in relation to photography or videography: to photograph, to shoot a video, or to record a scene. In media and technological contexts, snímá describes what a camera or sensor is doing, for example “kamera snímá záběr” (the camera records a shot) or “snímají záznam” (they are recording a record).

Beyond image capture, snímá is used for sensing or acquiring data in technical settings. A device like a sensor may snímá data or a signal, meaning it detects or collects information. This broader sense emphasizes the act of taking in or obtaining something from the environment.

Related nouns include snímek (a still image or frame), snímač (sensor), and snímání (the act of recording or capturing). These terms form a family around the process of capturing visual, audio, or data signals.

Grammatically, snímá follows standard Czech verb conjugation for the present tense: já snímám, ty snímáš, on/ona snímá, my snímáme, vy snímáte, oni snímají. The word appears frequently in journalism, film and television production, photography, and discussions of imaging technology.

Overall, snímá denotes the act of capturing or recording through imaging or sensing devices and is a common component of Czech discourse on media and technology.
