nabýt

The Czech verb "nabít" translates to "to charge" in English, most commonly referring to the act of providing electrical energy to a device, such as a battery. This process involves connecting a power source to a device's charging port, allowing the flow of electricity to replenish its energy reserves.

Beyond its literal meaning of electrical charging, "nabít" can also be used metaphorically. For instance, one might say they are "nabíjet si baterky" (charging their batteries), which means to rest and recharge their energy, both physically and mentally. This usage implies a need for recovery and rejuvenation.

In a different context, "nabít" can mean to load a weapon, such as a gun. This refers to inserting ammunition into the firearm, preparing it for use. This usage is distinct from the electrical or metaphorical meanings and pertains specifically to firearms.

Another less common but still valid translation of "nabít" is "to infuse" or "to imbue" with something, though this is more often expressed with prefixes like "nabud" (to imbue with courage) or "nabít" in specific idiomatic expressions. Overall, the primary and most frequent meaning of "nabít" centers on the act of charging, whether it be electrical, personal energy, or weaponry.
