Dohodnutí

Dohodnutí is a Czech noun that refers to the act of agreeing, typically through negotiation, or to the content that has been agreed upon. It can denote both the process of reaching an agreement and the resulting terms that were agreed by the parties. The term is somewhat formal and is more common in official, legal, or bureaucratic contexts; in ordinary speech the simpler word dohoda is often used instead.

Etymologically, dohodnutí is derived from the verb dohodnout se, meaning to agree or to settle, with the abstracting -nutí suffix forming a noun. The word thus carries a sense of an outcome that has been reached as a result of negotiation or discussion.

In legal and administrative language, dohodnutí is used to describe negotiated terms or arrangements, such as dohodnutí podmínek smlouvy (the terms of a contract that have been agreed) or dohodnutí termínů jednání (the dates of meetings that have been agreed). It can also appear in contexts describing settlements or voluntary arrangements between parties, for example dohodnutí o způsobu řešení sporu.

Dohodnutí is distinct from dohoda, which names the concrete agreement itself, and from the verb dohodnout se, which emphasizes the action of reaching an agreement. Because dohodnutí emphasizes the content or the result of negotiation, it is often found in formal documents, contract language, and regulatory texts rather than in casual conversation.

Overall, dohodnutí denotes the state or content of having agreed after negotiation, reflecting a formal or semi-formal level of discourse in Czech.
