Súvisia

Súvisia is a Slovak verb form meaning “they relate” or “are related.” It derives from the noun súvis, which denotes a connection, context, or relation. In everyday usage, súvisia describes a link between two or more elements, such as ideas, events, or objects.

Etymology and grammar: Súvisieť is the base verb expressing the idea of being connected. Súvisia is the present-tense form used with plural subjects, for example in sentences like “Tieto javy súvisia.” The root súvis is also found in related terms such as súvislosť (relevance or connectivity) and súvis (relation or context).

Usage: In academic and formal writing, súvisia is used to express association or contextual relevance rather than causation. It can indicate correlation or a linkage between factors, phenomena, or statements. The term helps distinguish between mere co-occurrence and a directional or explanatory relationship.

Examples: "Klimatické faktory súvisia s výskytom extrémnych javov." "Tieto údaje súvisia so všeobecnou trendovou zmenou." These examples illustrate linking concepts while leaving open the question of causality.
