nasbírají

Nasbírají is a Czech verb form that represents the third-person plural future of the verb nasbírat. Nasbírat is a perfective verb meaning to collect, gather or accumulate items or data in a single, completed action. Therefore, nasbírají is used to describe actions that will be completed in the future by they.

Etymology and formation: the verb nasbírat is built from the prefix na- added to the imperfective base sbírat (to collect, to gather). As a perfective verb, nasbírat has a future tense form nasbírají for the third-person plural. In contexts where the action is viewed as a single event, nasbírají corresponds to the English “they will collect” or, depending on nuance, “they will have collected.”

Usage: nasbírají is commonly used in news, reports, and everyday language to refer to the act of gathering or compiling something. It can describe collecting physical objects, but also collecting data, signatures, votes, or experiences. The choice between translations like “they will collect” and “they will have collected” is determined by context and the implied completion by a certain time.

Examples:

- Nasbírají plody za několik dní. They will have collected the fruits in a few days.

- Nasbírají data z průzkumu pro závěrečnou zprávu. They will collect the data from the survey for the final report.

- Kandidáti nasbírají potřebné podpisy pro petici. The candidates will collect the required signatures for the petition.
