Obmedzi

Obmedzi is a Slovak verb meaning to restrict, limit, or confine. The infinitive form is obmedziť; in standard Slovak, the present tense third-person singular form is obmedzí (he/she/it restricts). For non-diacritic texts or informal writing, you may see obmedzi used, but the correct orthography in standard Slovak is obmedzí in the present, with other forms existing for different tenses and aspects.

The verb is used in legal, regulatory, technological, and everyday contexts to describe placing boundaries on actions, access, or resources. In policy discourse it often denotes restricting certain activities or permissions; in information technology it describes limiting data access, bandwidth, or usage.

Examples:

- Vláda obmedzila dovoz niektorých tovarov. (The government restricted the import of certain goods.)

- Správca obmedzil prístup k citlivým údajom. (The administrator restricted access to sensitive data.)

- Aplikácia obmedzuje počet požiadaviek na server. (The application limits the number of requests to the server.)

See also: obmedzenie, which refers to a restriction or constraint, and related forms derived from obmedziť. The term is common in both formal and informal Slovak, where precise context determines whether it denotes a temporary limitation, a regulatory measure, or a general act of limiting.
