zlepili

Zlepili is the past tense form of the verb zlepit in Czech and zlepiť in Slovak. It means to glue together, to join, or to fuse two or more elements into a single unit. The word can be used for physical attachment, such as joining parts with an adhesive or fastener, as well as for metaphorical unification, such as bringing ideas, plans, or groups into cohesion.

The form derives from the verb lepit (to glue) with a prefix z- that often conveys a sense of completion or bringing something to a closed state. The stem is lep-, common to both languages, with spelling and pronunciation adjusted to fit each language’s phonology and orthography.

Grammatically, zlepili is the plural past tense form. In Czech, the corresponding singular past forms are zlepil (masculine), zlepila (feminine), and zlepilo (neuter). In Slovak, the past tense forms align similarly, with zlepili used for masculine plural subjects. The construction is typically used with auxiliary verbs in compound tenses, as in standard past constructions.

Usage is neutral and common in everyday language. It appears in ordinary descriptions of repairs or constructions, as well as in more abstract contexts when describing the consolidation of ideas, partnerships, or collaborations. The term is widely understood in Czech and Slovak-speaking contexts and does not carry specialized connotations beyond its literal and figurative senses.
