Zesílit

Zesílit is a Czech verb meaning to increase the strength, intensity, or level of something. It can refer to physical strengthening or to making something more prominent or effective. The term is used in everyday language as well as in technical contexts such as electronics, medicine, or rhetoric. In many cases it implies a deliberate action taken to make a result stronger or more pronounced.

Zesílit is a perfective verb; its imperfective counterpart is zesilovat, whose present tense is zesiluje. The future tense of the perfective is formed by using the 3rd person singular zesílí (for example, On zesílí signál). The past tense of the perfective is zesílil. The noun form is zesílení (the intensification or amplification), and the participle zesílený describes something that has been intensified.

Typical uses include amplifying a signal ('zesílit signál'), increasing the effectiveness of a treatment or intervention ('zesílit účinek léku'), or strengthening an argument or message ('zesílit dopad sdělení'). In engineering or physics one may speak of 'zesílit výkon' or 'zesílení signálu.' In everyday speech, it can describe making something stronger, louder, or more noticeable.

Etymology and related terms: the prefix ze- with síla (strength) yields 'zesílit'; related verbs include posílit (to reinforce) and zintenzivnit (to intensify). The noun forms include zesílení (intensification) and zesílený (intensified).
