Zavádza

Zavádza is the third-person singular present tense form of the Slovak verb zavádzať, meaning to introduce or to bring into use. It is commonly used in formal, administrative, and technical language to describe the act of implementing a system, policy, procedure, or idea into practice. The imperfective nature of zavádzať indicates ongoing or habitual action, while its perfective counterpart is zaviesť.

In usage, zavádza is typically followed by a direct object in the accusative: zavádza nový zákon, zavádza nový systém, zavádza opatrenia. It can describe introducing changes such as reforms, regulations, or working conditions, for example: Vláda zavádza nový daňový režim; Spoločnosť zavádza flexibilný pracovný čas. While the core meaning is “to introduce,” the sense of deception is not standard for zavádzať; other verbs such as klamať, uvádzať do omylu are used for “to mislead.”

Etymology and morphology: the verb is formed with the prefix z- added to vádzať (to lead), producing a meaning akin to “to lead into” or “to bring into use.” It is transitive and conjugates according to regular Slovak verb patterns. The noun form zavádzanie denotes the act of introducing something, while the related perfective verb zaviesť expresses the completion or implementation of the introduction.
