nakoupilo

Nakoupilo is a neuter singular past tense form of the Czech verb nakoupit, meaning to buy up or to stock up. It is used as a predicative form in sentences where the subject is neuter, or in impersonal constructions. In standard past tense, the corresponding forms are nakoupil (masculine), nakoupila (feminine), and nakoupili/nakoupily (plural).

Etymology and construction: nakoupit is formed with the prefix na- added to kúpit (to buy), giving a sense of completing the purchase or accumulating goods. The neuter form nakoupilo therefore marks a completed purchasing action attributed to a neuter noun such as zboží (goods) or zásoby (stock).

Usage notes: The form nakoupilo is common in inventory reports, market summaries, and impersonal statements. It often appears in constructions like nakoupilo se hodně zboží, meaning that a large amount of goods was purchased. When the subject is animate or of a specific gender, other past tense forms are used (for example, firma nakoupila; obchod nakoupil/ nakoupila).

Examples:

- Nakoupilo se hodně zboží během výprodeje. (A lot of goods were purchased during the sale.)

- Zásoby nakoupilo vedení společnosti, aby pokryl poptávku na jaře. (The management bought up stocks to cover spring demand.)

See also: nakoupit, nákup, nakupování.

Note: Nakoupilo is primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept; its meaning derives from the verb nakoupit and the neuter subject with which it agrees.
