Vypsat

Vypsat is a Czech verb meaning to publish or issue something publicly, especially in official or formal contexts. It describes the act of issuing a call, notice, or document that is intended to be publicly visible, such as a competition, tender, job advertisement, or list. The action is usually completed and results in a published text or document.

Etymology and form: Vypsat is formed with the prefix vy- attached to the verb psát (to write). It is perfective, indicating a completed action. Its imperfective counterparts are vypisovat or vypsávat, used when the act is ongoing or repeated.

Usage: Vypsat is common in public administration, procurement, education, and media. Typical expressions include vypsat soutěž (to issue a competition), vypsat veřejnou zakázku (to publish a public tender), vypsat konkurs (to open a competition for a position), and vypsat seznam (to publish a list) or other official documents.

Examples: The city council vypsal veřejnou zakázku na rekonstrukci mostu. The university vypsala konkurs na pozici ředitele. A government portal may vypsat výzvu k podání nabídek.

Translation and nuance: In English, vypsat is commonly rendered as issue, publish, or call for bids. It differs from vyhlásit (to proclaim or announce officially something with ceremonial or broad significance) and oznámit (to announce). In practice, vypsat emphasizes the formal publication of a call or list by an authorized body.
