Zapysuvaty

Zapysuvaty is a Ukrainian verb that generally translates to "to record," "to write down," or "to inscribe." It encompasses the act of preserving information in a tangible or electronic form. The specific nuance can vary depending on the context.

In its most common usage, zapysuvaty refers to the act of writing something down in a notebook, on paper, or in a digital document. This could be taking notes during a lecture, jotting down a phone number, or documenting an event. The imperfective aspect of the verb suggests an ongoing or repeated action.

The verb can also mean to register or enroll. For instance, one might zapysuvaty oneself into a course or zapysuvaty a new resident into a building. This implies a formal process of recording information for administrative or official purposes.

Furthermore, zapysuvaty can extend to the idea of making a recording, particularly in an audio or video sense. While other verbs might be more specific for audio-visual capture, zapysuvaty can be used in a broader sense of capturing and preserving sound or moving images. The concept of "zapys" itself, the noun form, refers to a record, an entry, or a script.
