upravuji

Upravuji is the first-person singular present tense form of the Czech imperfective verb upravovat, meaning to adjust, edit, or modify. As an imperfective verb, upravuji describes ongoing or habitual action, such as currently making adjustments or routinely editing something. The related perfective form upravit denotes the action’s completion, typically used in future or past contexts rather than present ongoing action.

Usage and meaning

Upravuji is commonly used in contexts involving editing texts, configuring software, modifying settings, or adjusting data. It covers activities from polishing a document to fine-tuning a system parameter. The term is versatile enough to apply to digital work (text editors, databases) as well as non-digital tasks (altering the fit of clothing or the arrangement of objects), depending on context.

Examples

- Upravuji text v editoru. (I am editing text in the editor.)

- Upravuji nastavení systému. (I am adjusting the system settings.)

- Co mi chybí? Upravím to. (What’s missing for me? I will adjust it.)

Related forms and notes

Upravuji stems from uprav- plus the present 1st-person ending -uji. The perfective counterpart upravit is used for completed actions, with future or past forms indicating that the adjustment will or has been made. This word appears frequently in technical writing, user manuals, and everyday Czech when describing editing or configuration tasks.
