Vymedzi

Vymedzi is a Slovak verb meaning to delimit or to mark out boundaries or limits. The infinitive form is vymedziť, and vymedzi appears as a present-tense form used in everyday language. The term covers both physical boundaries, such as territorial borders, and abstract limits, such as the scope of powers or responsibilities.

In usage, vymedzi is common in geography, law, urban planning, administration, and organizational contexts. Typical expressions include vymedziť hranice (to delimit borders), vymedziť územie (to define an area), and vymedziť pôsobnosť or kompetencie (to set the remit or authorities). The concept is closely related to delimitation, delineation, and demarcation in legal and cartographic language.

Etymology traces vymedzi to a Slavic root associated with the idea of placing something between or drawing lines to separate one area from another, with the prefix vy- contributing a sense of completion or specification. The noun form vymedzenie corresponds to the act or process of delimitation.

See also: vymedzenie, hranice, demarkácia, delimitácia. Examples in Slovak texts often describe official or technical actions to establish limits, such as agreements that vymedzia hranice between states or policies that vymedzia pôsobnosť jednotlivých inštitúcií.
