nápísat

nápísat is a Czech verb meaning "to write down" or "to note down". It is a perfective verb, indicating a completed action. The imperfective counterpart is psát. The prefix "ná-" often signifies an action directed towards something or an addition to something. Therefore, nápísat implies the act of recording information in a written form.

This verb is commonly used in everyday situations when someone needs to jot down a phone number, an address, a reminder, or any other piece of information. For example, one might say "Napiš mi to na papír" which translates to "Write it down for me on paper." The verb can also be used in a more abstract sense, such as writing down one's thoughts or ideas.

The conjugation of nápísat follows the regular pattern for verbs ending in "-at" in the present tense, although as a perfective verb, its future tense is formed using the present tense conjugation. The past tense is formed with the auxiliary verb "být" and the past participle. The imperative form is used to give commands to write something down. Understanding nápísat is essential for comprehending written and spoken Czech, particularly in contexts involving recording or documenting information.
