dopravit

Dopravit is a verb used in Czech and Slovak meaning to transport, to bring to a destination, or to deliver. In both languages it denotes the act of moving goods, people, or items by vehicle or another means to a specified place. The verb is perfective; its imperfective counterparts are dopravovat (Czech) and dopravovať (Slovak). In everyday and professional use, dopravit appears in contexts such as logistics, shipping, courier services, medical transport, and travel planning.

Conjugation and usage follow the standard patterns for perfective verbs in each language. In Czech, present-tense forms of the perfective are used to express future delivery, for example dopravím zboží do skladu, dopravíš materiál na stavbu, dopraví toaletní potřeby do nemocnice. In Slovak, similar forms apply with appropriate endings. The verb is typically complemented by objects specifying what is being transported and by or to whom it is delivered, as in dopravit zboží do skladu or dopravit pacienta na vyšetrenie.

Etymology: dopravit is derived from the noun doprava (transport) with the common verb-forming suffix, representing the perfective variant of the related imperfective verb. Regional usage differs in related terms: in Czech, dovézt emphasizes bringing by vehicle to a destination; in Slovak, priviesť serves a related meaning of delivering or bringing someone or something to a place.
