Provozovnách

Provozovnách is the locative plural form of the Czech noun provozovna, which refers to a place where business is conducted, such as a shop, workshop, production facility, or organizational premises. The term is used to describe multiple locations within a company or organization where activities are carried out. In everyday and formal contexts, provozovny can denote branches, outlets, or separate premises that form part of a larger business.

Etymology and grammar: Provozovna is a feminine noun built from provoz (operation, activity) and a suffix that denotes a place associated with such activity. Its nominative plural is provozovny, while the locative plural, used after prepositions like v (in) or o (about), is provoznách. For example: V provozovnách firmy se zajišťuje servis zákazníkům. Společnost má dvě provozovny v Praze a Brně.

Usage notes: The term is common in business, accounting, and regulatory language. It distinguishes the physical or organizational units where operations are executed from the company’s central office or headquarters. Provozovna can refer to an individual location or to multiple locations collectively, depending on the context. Related terms include provozovatel (operator), provoz (operation), and pobočka (branch), which is often used equivalently but may carry slightly different nuance depending on legal or organizational context.
