Adjustovat

Adjustovat is a verb used in Czech and Slovak languages with the meaning to adjust, calibrate, or adapt something to desired conditions. It is common in technical and professional contexts, such as configuring devices, tuning software parameters, calibrating instruments, or adapting plans to new circumstances. In everyday language it may also refer to making small changes to fit a situation or preference.

Etymology and form: Adjustovat is a loanword formed with the standard Czech and Slovak suffix -ovat, derived from the English word "adjust." In both languages it behaves as a regular -ovat verb. In present tense many speakers form it as: já adjustuju, ty adjustuješ, on adjustuje; my adjustujeme, vy adjustujete, oni adjustují. Variants such as adjustuju or adjustuje are common, and pronunciation follows typical Czech/Slovak phonology.

Usage notes: The verb covers a range of senses from precise calibration (technical instruments, software settings) to broader modification (tuning parameters, plans, or conditions). It is frequently paired with nouns like nastavení (settings), kalibrácia (calibration), or parametry (parameters). While widely understood, some contexts may favor more language-purist terms such as upravit or doladit, depending on register and regional preference.
