zaujímá

Zaujímá is the third-person singular present tense form of the Slovak verb zaujímať, meaning to interest, to concern, or to occupy. The form is used to describe something that attracts attention or engages someone. In everyday usage it can refer to topics, events, or objects that cause interest or involvement.

Usage and examples:

Zaujímá veľa ľudí táto téma. (This topic interests many people.)

Grammatical notes:

Zaujímať is a transitive verb, and zaujímá is its present-tense form for he, she, or it. Slovak also uses non-finite forms such as the infinitive zaujímať and the past forms zaujímal/zaujímala. The reflexive form zaujímať sa means “to take an interest in” or “to be interested in,” as in zaujímam sa o hudbu (I am interested in music).
