Vykonávajúci

Vykonávajúci is a Slovak participle that translates to "performing," "executing," or "carrying out" in English. It is derived from the verb "vykonať," which means to perform, execute, or accomplish. This participle can function as an adjective or as part of a verbal phrase, depending on its grammatical context.

As an adjective, "vykonávajúci" describes a noun that is actively engaged in an action. For example, "vykonávajúci úradník" translates to "performing official" or "acting official," indicating a person currently in the process of carrying out their duties. Similarly, "vykonávajúci rozhodnutie" means "decision being executed."

In verbal phrases, "vykonávajúci" often appears with auxiliary verbs to form continuous or progressive tenses, although Slovak grammar doesn't always employ participles in the same way English does for continuous tenses. More commonly, it emphasizes the ongoing nature of an action. For instance, in legal or administrative contexts, it might be used to refer to an entity or individual that is in the process of implementing a law, order, or task. The specific meaning can vary based on the context, but the core sense of active engagement and completion of an action remains consistent.
