instaluji

Instaluji is the first-person singular present tense form of the Czech verb instalovat, meaning “I install.” It is used when describing an ongoing action of placing software, a program, a driver, or a system onto a computer or device. The verb is imperfective, so it denotes a process in the present rather than a completed result.

Present tense forms (imperfective): já instaluji, ty instaluješ, on instaluje, my instalujeme, vy instalujete, oni instalují.

Etymology and related forms: instalovat is a loanword from foreign languages, likely transmitted through German or English. The noun form is instalace, meaning installation. The perfective counterpart is nainstaluji (or the verb nainstalovat), used to express a completed action in the future, i.e., “I will install,” or “I will have installed.”

Usage notes: instaluji and its related forms appear mainly in computing and hardware contexts, where one talks about installing software, drivers, updates, or operating systems. The distinction between instalovat (imperfective) and nainstalovat (perfective) affects aspect and temporal interpretation. After installation, Czech often uses instalace to refer to the process or result, such as “probíhá instalace” (the installation is in progress) or “po instalaci” (after installation).
