zainvestovat

Zainvestovat is a Czech verb meaning to invest money, time, or other resources into a project, asset, or enterprise. It denotes the completion of the act of investing and is a perfective form derived from the imperfective verb investovat by adding the prefix z- (often used to form perfective verbs in Czech). The prefix conveys a sense of accomplishment or a single completed action, in contrast to investovat, which refers to the process of investing.

In use, zainvestovat is commonly followed by the preposition do and the genitive to specify the target of the investment, for example: zainvestovat do akcií, do nemovitostí, do výzkumu. It may also take a direct object in the sense of 'invested money': zainvestovat milion korun. Verbal forms align with Czech aspect: present tense of a perfective form expresses future sense (zainvestuje), past tense uses the masculine, feminine, or neutral forms (zainvestoval, zainvestovala, zainvestovalo).

Typical contexts include corporate finance, venture capital, private wealth management, and project funding, but the term also appears in everyday speech when individuals describe allocating resources to a goal. The unprefixed investovat remains the imperfective counterpart, focusing on the ongoing process.
