Zavádzanie

Zavádzanie is a noun in Slovak that denotes either the act of bringing something into use or practice, or the act of misleading or presenting information in a deceptive way, depending on the context.

The primary senses are: (1) introduction or implementation, referring to the process of bringing new rules, technologies, procedures, or systems into use or into daily practice; for example, the zavádzanie nových pravidiel do praxe. (2) deception, referring to misleading or misinforming someone, such as presenting information in a way that induces a wrong conclusion or decision.

The term is derived from the verb zavádzať, which means to bring in, to introduce, or to mislead. In administrative, legal, and business language, zavádzanie is commonly used to describe both bringing items into operation and, in negative contexts, misleading practices. In technical settings, it can also appear in phrases related to commissioning or installation, for example in the sense of zavádzanie do prevádzky (commissioning).

Examples of use include: "Zavádzanie nových pravidiel do praxe vyžaduje školenia zamestnancov." and, in consumer or marketing contexts, "zavádzanie pri predaji výrobkov" to denote misleading conduct or information presented to customers.
