zlepí

Zlepí is the present-tense form of the Czech verb zlepit, meaning to glue together or to fasten with adhesive. It denotes joining two or more pieces into a single unit by means of glue, paste, or another adhesive. The prefix z- indicates completion or bringing into a final state, and lep- comes from lepit, the general verb for gluing. The verb zlepit is perfective, describing a single completed act; its imperfective counterpart is lepit. In common usage, zlepí signals that the gluing action is performed to achieve a finished bond, for example in repairs, woodworking, crafts, or model-making.

Conjugation and related forms follow standard Czech patterns for perfective verbs with a z- prefix. The present-tense form zlepí is used for third-person singular, while other persons use forms built from the same stem zlep- with appropriate endings.

Usage examples include sentences such as: On zlepí dvě desky dohromady. Desky byly zlepené kvalitním lepidlem. In instructional or narrative contexts, zlepí describes the act of gluing and securing components into a adhered assembly.

Notes and related terms: zlepí is easily confused with zlepšit, a different Czech verb meaning to improve. The present form of zlepšit is zlepší, which refers to improvement rather than gluing. Related verbs include lepit (to glue, imperfective) and zlepit (to glue together, perfective).
