Vypravení

Vypravení is a Czech noun denoting the act of sending something away (dispatch) or of starting a journey (departure). It is used in both logistical and travel contexts and emphasizes the process or moment of sending, dispatch, or setting off. The term is derived from the verb vypravit, and the related reflexive form vypravit se means to set out on a journey.

In logistics and administration, vypravení refers to the formal act of sending goods or information. Examples include vypravení zásilky (dispatch of a shipment), vypravení zboží do zahraničí (expedition of goods abroad), or vypravení dopisu (sending a letter). The word often appears in formal or business language and is commonly paired with nouns describing what is being sent or where it is going.

In travel and ceremonial contexts, vypravení can describe the act of departure or the formal sending off of people or groups. Phrases such as vypravení se na cestu (to set off on a journey) or vypravení delegace (dispatching a delegation) illustrate this sense. The term can also appear in historical or official writing to describe military, diplomatic, or exploratory expeditions, e.g., vypravení vojenské výpravy (dispatch of a military expedition).

Related terms include vypravit (to dispatch or to outfit), vypravit se (to set out), and synonyms such as odeslat or expedovat, depending on context. Vypravení tends to be slightly more formal and is common in administrative, logistical, or ceremonial language.
