Zaslat

Zaslat is a verb used in Czech and Slovak meaning to send or forward something to someone, such as a letter, document, invoice, or information. It is typically found in formal, administrative, and business contexts and emphasizes the action of delivering something to a recipient rather than simply presenting it in a current moment.

In Czech, zaslat is a perfective verb, with the imperfective counterpart zasílat used for ongoing or repeated sending. In Slovak, the equivalent perfective is zaslať, while the imperfective form is zasielať (or zasielavať in some contexts). The verb is commonly used with direct objects in the accusative: zaslat dopis, zaslat fakturu, zaslat e-mail. Phrases such as zašlete mi fakturu na e-mail or zaslal dopis are typical in formal correspondence.

Usage and nuance: zaslat often conveys completion of the sending action, which is important in administrative and commercial communications. It can be contrasted with other Czech and Slovak verbs for sending, such as odeslat (to dispatch or send, sometimes with emphasis on formal submission) or poslat (to send, a broader, more general term). The choice between them can reflect tone, formality, and the nature of the item being sent.

See also: odeslat, poslat, zasílat. In English, equivalents include to send, to mail, or to dispatch.
