Znesnadní

Znesnadní is a Czech verb whose infinitive form is znesnadnit. It means to make something more difficult, to hinder, or to complicate a task, process, or outcome. The prefix z- together with the adjective snadný (easy) or its negation nesnadný (not easy) conveys the sense of turning something that could be easy into something harder or less feasible.

Etymology and nuance: The word is built from the prefix z- plus the root related to snadný (easy). It is commonly used to describe actions, rules, conditions, or circumstances that impede progress, obstruct achievement, or complicate decisions. It conveys an active effect on the ease or feasibility of a goal.

Grammar and usage: Znesnadní is the third-person singular finite form used to refer to a future action (he/she/it will make something difficult). The infinitive is znesnadnit, and past and other forms follow standard Czech verb conjugation for perfective verbs (znesnadnil, znesnadníme, etc.). It is often paired with objects that denote tasks, plans, processes, or deadlines. Typical contexts include law, policy, project management, or any situation where obstacles are introduced or heightened.

Synonyms and related terms include ztížit (to complicate or to complicate matters), zkomplikovat (to complicate further), and ztížit podmínky (to worsen the conditions).
