Kontrolující

Kontrolující is the present active participle of the Czech verb kontrolovat, meaning to control, check, or supervise. As an adjective or a nominalized participle, it denotes a person or entity that performs checks or supervision, or describes a controlling action or mechanism.

Common contexts include administrative or regulatory settings, audits, and quality control, for example kontrolující orgán (controlling or supervisory authority), kontrolující pracovník (inspecting worker), or kontrolující činnost (controlling activity). In some cases, it is used as a noun by substantivizing the participle to refer to the person who performs controls, though more common terms for such roles include dozorčí, inspektor, or kontrolor.

In grammar, kontrolující is a participle and can function like an adjective, agreeing with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. It is typically found in formal or technical language, especially in regulatory, compliance, or auditing contexts.

Origin: kontrolovat comes from the verb borrowed into Czech with influence from German kontrollieren and French contrôler, reflecting historical linguistic contact in Central Europe. Related words include kontrola (control) and dozor (supervision).
