What verb is provjerite from?

It comes from the verb provjeriti, which means to check / to verify.

This is a perfective verb, so it usually focuses on a completed action: checking something through and confirming it.

A useful contrast is:

• provjeravati = to be checking, to check repeatedly, ongoing/imperfective
• provjeriti = to check and complete the check, perfective

In an instruction like this, the perfective form is very natural because the speaker wants the action to be carried out as a complete task.
