Stlaením

Stlačením is the instrumental singular form of the Slovak noun stlačenie, which denotes the act or result of pressing or compression. In technical and instructional writing it is used to indicate the method by which something is accomplished, often translating to “by pressing” in English. For example: Zariadenie sa zapne stlačením tlačidla (The device turns on by pressing the button).

The noun stlačenie is formed from the verb stlačiť (to press) with the suffix -enie, yielding a word that names the action itself. The instrumental singular stlačením is created by adding the instrumental ending -ím to the noun, in accordance with Slovak grammar for neuter nouns. In usage, it marks the instrument or means: stlačením tlačidla, stlačením ventilu, a tak ďalej.

Stlačením is closely related to other forms derived from the same root, such as stlačenie (the act of pressing) and stlačený (pressed). It commonly appears in manuals, user guides, and technical texts to describe procedures or operations that require pressing a control or component.
