Odstranní

Odstraní is a verb form used in Czech (and in related forms in Slovak) derived from the verb odstranit, meaning to remove or eliminate. In Czech, the standard present-tense form is odstraní, used when stating that someone or something removes something. It can refer to physical removal, the removal of obstacles, or the elimination of unwanted elements. Example: On odstraní nečistoty z povrchu. The form is transitive and requires a direct object, as in odstraní odpadky, odstraní překážky.

Odstranění is a related noun meaning the act or process of removing, elimination, or deletion. It is used across contexts—from everyday speech to technical or administrative language. Common phrases include odstranění chyb (elimination of errors), odstranění nebezpečí (removal of danger), or odstranění dat (deletion of data). The noun often appears in discussions of procedures, regulations, and IT operations, where it denotes the formal action of removing a component, file, or problem.

Etymology and cognates: the verb odstranit is built with the prefix od- (away) and a root related to removal. In Slovak, the parallel forms are odstrániť (to remove) and odstránenie (removal). These forms share the same core meaning of taking away or eliminating something, with grammatical adjustments for tense, aspect, and voice in each language.
