Zistení

Zistení is a Slovak noun in the neuter gender, most often encountered in the plural form zistení as the genitive plural of zistenie. The base form zistenie denotes the act of ascertaining, finding, or establishing something, and it can refer to a conclusion drawn from investigation, measurement, or examination. The word is derived from the verb zistiť (to ascertain, to discover) with the common noun-forming suffix -enie.

In usage, zistenie refers to a fact or conclusion established by examination, testing, or analysis. It is frequently used in scientific reports, audits, legal proceedings, journalism, and administrative contexts to summarize the findings of a study, inspection, or inquiry. The plural zistenia refers to multiple findings, while zistení (genitive plural) is used within phrases requiring that case, such as “výsledky zistení” or in constructions like “podľa zistení expertov” (according to the findings of experts).

Examples include: “Zistenie experimentu potvrdilo hypotézu” and “Podľa zistení auditu sa nezrovnalosti opakovane vyskytovali.” Related terms include zistenie (the act of discovering), nález (a finding or result), and the verb zistiť (to ascertain). Zistení functions as a grammatical form necessary for specific syntactic contexts and does not change the substantive meaning of zistenie.
