Ustanoví

Ustanoví is a grammatical form of the Slavic verb ustanovit, meaning to establish, to set up, to install, or to appoint. It is used in Czech and Slovak to express a future action by a third-person singular subject. In English, it corresponds to “he will establish” or “he will appoint,” depending on the context and the object.

Etymology and cognates: The verb stems from a Slavic root associated with setting or placing something in a determined position. In related languages, cognates exist such as Polish ustanowić and Russian ustanovit’, reflecting a shared semantic core of establishing or arranging something officially.

Usage and nuance: Ustanoví is typically employed in formal or official contexts, such as government decisions, organizational actions, or legal arrangements. It often denotes a deliberate or authoritative act, such as founding a body, introducing a system, or appointing someone to a post. The exact object of the action can be a committee, a regime, a system, or an office, among others.

Examples: In Czech, one might say “Vláda ustanoví novou komisi,” meaning “The government will establish a new commission.” In Slovak, a parallel sentence would be “Vláda ustanoví novú komisiu,” meaning the same in Slovak. The form is versatile across sectors, from public administration to corporate governance.
