"He bought food for seventy animals."

Translation: Koupil žrádlo pro sedmdesát zvířat.

[PierreMDL]

If I understood correctly, this sentence translates "He was buying food for seventy animals." or "He used to buy food for seventy animals." because of the imperfective form of the verb, right?

[kacenka9]

The other way around. He bought it. Once and done.

If we talked about repetitive action it would be KUPOVAL....

KOUPIT is the perfective version

KUPOVAT is the imperfective one

[PierreMDL]

Oh I mixed up kupit and vykupit, which is already something else. Thank you!

Why not "koupil pro sedmdesát zvířat žrádlo"? Can't you stress the žrádlo here?

[VladaFu]

Yes, it is possible.
