Vykonání

Vykonání is a Czech noun meaning the act of performing, carrying out, or executing something. It denotes the completion or fulfillment of a task, duty, or decision. In everyday language it can refer to completing an action, while in legal and administrative contexts it often signifies the actual execution or enforcement of a measure, sentence, or order.

Etymology and form: The word is derived from the verb vykonat, meaning to perform or execute. It is a neuter noun formed with the suffix -ní. As a formal term, vykonání appears in official documents, legal texts, and bureaucratic language, and it is commonly paired with a following genitive noun to specify what is being carried out (for example, vykonání trestu, vykonání rozsudku).

Usage and nuance: Vykonání emphasizes the completion or realization of an action or obligation. It is often used to describe the moment of fulfillment or the act of putting a plan into practice. In legal language it can refer to the enforcement of a court decision or the carrying out of a sentence, whereas in everyday speech it may simply indicate that a task has been performed.

Related terms: Related concepts include vykonatelnost (enforceability), vykonávací (pertaining to enforcement), and the verb vykonat (to perform or execute). In some contexts, synonyms such as provední or provedení may be used, though they carry slightly different nuances, with provední often stressing the process of execution.
