Uvedenie

Uvedenie is a noun used in Slovak to denote the act of introducing or presenting something. It can refer to the introduction of a topic in a text, the presentation of information in a document, or the listing and display of items in a program, catalog, or publication. In some contexts it also means the act of bringing a work to public attention, such as the release or premiere of a film, book, or product.

Etymology and forms: Uvedenie is derived from the verb uviesť (to introduce, to present, to state). In Czech, a closely related form is uvedení (with the diacritic changes), serving a similar range of meanings. The noun is commonly used in formal writing, publishing, and administrative language in Slovak.

Usage and nuance: In text and documentation, uvedenie often appears in phrases like “uvedenie zdrojov” (citing or listing sources) or “uvedenie pojmu” (definition or introduction of a term). In media and events, it can refer to the act of presenting a work to the public or listing items in a program or schedule, for example, “uvedenie filmu do distribúcie” (film release). The term is typically neutral and formal, with equivalents in English such as introduction, presentation, or listing, depending on context.
