Inaktivují

Inaktivují is the Czech third‑person plural present tense form of the verb „inaktivovat“, which means “to inactivate.” The verb is derived from the noun „inaktivita“, meaning inactivity or non‑activity. In everyday Czech it is used to describe processes or actions that bring something to a state of no longer being active or operative. It can refer to biological, technical, or abstract contexts such as shutting down a device, silencing a gene, or ending a subscription.

In biological or medical literature inaktivují is frequently used to describe the phenotypic state of cells or molecules when their activity is suppressed. For example, one might say that a particular drug causes certain enzymes to inaktivují, thereby preventing a metabolic pathway. In computing it denotes the deactivation of software modules, network nodes, or user accounts; an administrator might inaktivují certain permissions so that they are no longer required. In politics or administration the expression can describe the process of terminating or suspending a public service or contract.

Conjugation: the verb inaktivovat follows the typical pattern for regular -ovat verbs, with the infinitive inaktivovat (to inactivate), past tense inaktivoval (he/she/it inactivated), conditional inaktivoval by (he/she would inactivate), and imperative inaktivujte (you plural inactivate). The plural present tense inaktivují matches “they inactivate” in English. Synonyms for inaktivovat include deaktivovat (to deactivate) and zakázat (to ban/disable), but inaktivovat emphasizes the transition to an inactive state rather than a complete prohibition.

This form appears in academic texts, technical manuals, legal documents, and everyday conversation where a clear distinction between active and inactive status is important.
