pod-pisati · pre-pisati · za-pisati · o-pisati
A prefix shifts the meaning of the root. From pisati (write): podpisati (sign), prepisati (copy out), zapisati (note down), opisati (describe). Each prefix has a direction-sense — pod- under, pre- across/over, za- behind/down, o- around. Spot it and you can guess an unfamiliar verb.
