Skládá is the present tense form of the Czech verb skládat in the third person singular, meaning that someone “composes,” “puts together,” or “assembles.” The sense is primarily transitive and used with a range of objects. It can describe assembling or constructing things from parts, for example skládat nábytek (to assemble furniture) or skládat plány (to lay out or devise plans). It is also used for creating or composing in artistic contexts, such as skládat hudbu (to compose music) or skládat píseň (to write a song).
