Dodriavaním

Dodriavaním is a Slovak word that generally translates to "overdoing it" or "excess." It describes the act of consuming, using, or engaging in something to an excessive degree, often to the point of detriment or excess. The term can be applied to a wide range of situations, from food and drink to work and recreation.

For example, one might speak of dodriavaním of a rich meal, implying that too much was eaten. Similarly, it can refer to overworking oneself, leading to exhaustion or burnout, which is a form of dodriavaním of one's energy and time. In a social context, it could describe excessive partying or drinking. The implication is almost always negative, suggesting a lack of moderation and a potential for negative consequences.

The root of the word is related to the verb "dodrieť," which means to finish or complete, and the prefix "do-" often implies a completion or reaching a limit. Therefore, dodriavaním suggests exceeding that limit or completing something in an excessive manner. It's a common colloquialism used to express disapproval or caution against immoderation in various aspects of life.
