Tvarují

Tvarují is the third-person plural present tense form of the Czech verb tvarovat, which means to shape, form, or mold. The verb is used for both physical shaping of materials and for metaphorical shaping of non-material things such as opinions, policies, or characters. The root tvar means shape or form, and the -ovat suffix marks it as a common Czech verb class.

In standard usage, tvarují describes agents performing the action: they shape or form something. The full present tense conjugation is: já tvaruji, ty tvaruješ, on/ona/ono tvaruje, my tvarujeme, vy tvarujete, oni/tvárují. The noun form referring to the process is tvarování (shaping or forming).

Applications span multiple domains. In manufacturing and crafts, tvarují plasty, kov, keramiku or hlínu to specific shapes. In sculpture or design, artists tvarují materiály to achieve desired forms. In a broader sense, the verb is used metaphorically: polity or media can tvarovat veřejné mínění, zákaznické preference nebo kulturu organizace. In some contexts, formovat bývá preferováno pro abstraktnější nebo systémové změny, ale tvarovat může být stejně idiomatické, zejména když jde o konkrétní materiál nebo vizuální podobu.

Tvarování, the noun form, denotes the process of giving form, while tvarový or tvarovat can appear in related phrases describing the capability or method of shaping. The term is common in technical, artistic, and everyday Czech, and is understood across contexts where shaping or forming is involved.
