Realizovat

Realizovat is a Czech verb meaning to realize, carry out, or implement something by turning an idea, plan, or project into reality. It is transitive and generally imperfective, used for processes that are ongoing or in progress, with a perfective counterpart formed with prefixes such as z- (zrealizovat) to indicate completion.

The verb is commonly used in business, administration, and everyday speech to describe turning plans into actions, for example realizovat plán, realizovat projekt, realizovat myšlenku, or realizovat sen. It can also refer to realizing an intention or dream in a broader sense, not limited to material outcomes.

Grammatical notes and usage: realizovat belongs to the class of imperfective verbs, so it denotes processes rather than a single completed event. The perfective aspect is typically expressed with zrealizovat, which emphasizes that the plan or idea has been brought to fruition. Present-tense forms include já realizuji, ty realizuješ, on/ona realizuje, my realizujeme, vy realizujete, oni realizují. Past tense, agreement with gender and number, is formed with the usual Czech past tense endings (realizoval, realizovala, realizovalo, etc.). The verb often appears with noun phrases in the accusative case, as in "realizovat projekt" or "realizovat plán."

Related terms include realizace (realization or implementation), realizovatelný (realizable), and the more general synonyms uskutečnit and provést. The choice among them can depend on nuance: realizovat emphasizes bringing into reality, uskutečnit emphasizes making something happen, and provést stresses carrying out actions or procedures.
