Pokraování

Pokračování is a Czech noun meaning the act of continuing something or the continuation of an event, narrative, or sequence. In common usage it most often refers to a sequel or follow-up, such as a subsequent chapter in a book, the next installment of a film series, or the next episode in a television program.

Etymology and form: It is derived from the verb pokračovat (to continue) and formed with the noun suffix -ování. The standard spelling in Czech is pokračí? no, correct is pokračování, with the diacritics č and á. The unaccented form pokraování may appear only when diacritics are omitted or in contexts where accents are not used.

Usage: In literature, film and media, pokračování labels indicate a continuation: for example, a book marketed as pokračování románu, or a film described as the second pokračování in a series. The term can also describe the ongoing development of a project or process, not necessarily tied to a published work, such as a news article outlining its pokračování or a plan for future installments.

See also: sequel; related Czech terms include pokračovat (to continue) and pokračování díla (continuation of a work). The word is widely understood in Czech-speaking contexts and is commonly used in reviews, marketing, and bibliographic descriptions to signal a continuation rather than a standalone work.
