Popsání

Popsání is a Czech noun formed from the verb popsat, referring to the act of describing or the description itself. It denotes the process, content, or result of describing a subject in detail. In everyday use, popsání can refer to a descriptive passage in text, a verbal account, or a summarized description of a situation or object.

In practice, the term is used across different contexts. In literature, popsání describes the descriptive parts of a scene, character, or setting and aims to convey sensory details or atmosphere. In journalism and reporting, it can mean a factual account of circumstances or events. In administrative or legal language, popsání can refer to a description of facts, evidence, or findings. The nuance is often that popsání emphasizes the act or method of describing, rather than the finished description alone.

Morphology and related forms: popsání is derived from the verb popsat and the agentive noun suffix -ní. Related words include popis (the description or a descriptive item), popisný (descriptive), and popisovat (to describe). The distinction between popis and popsání is subtle and stylistic; popis often names the result, while popsání highlights the act of describing or the process of providing a description.
