Zalévám

Zalévám is a Czech verb that translates to "I water" in English. It is the first-person singular present tense form of the verb "zalévat," which means to water, to irrigate, or to pour. The verb is commonly used in contexts related to gardening, agriculture, and domestic chores. For example, one might say "Zalévám květiny" which means "I am watering the flowers." It can also be used more broadly to mean "I am pouring" or "I am drenching," depending on the context. The verb belongs to the imperfective aspect, indicating an ongoing or repeated action. Its perfective counterpart is "zaleju," meaning "I will water" or "I have watered" (completed action). The verb's etymology can be traced back to Proto-Slavic roots related to pouring and flowing. Understanding "zalévám" is essential for basic communication in Czech, particularly when discussing plants, gardens, or any situation involving the application of liquids.
