absolvují

Absolvují is the third-person plural present tense form of the Czech verb absolvovat. The verb means to complete or finish something, most often a course of study, a program, or an examination. It conveys reaching a defined milestone or requirement, rather than merely starting or doing part of something. The corresponding infinitive is absolvovat, and the noun absolvent refers to a person who has completed a program.

In practice, absolvovat is used for educational and professional contexts. Common phrases include absolvovat kurz (to complete a course), absolvovat školu (to finish school), or absolvovat zkoušku (to pass an examination). The form absolvují is used when referring to a group or to multiple subjects performing the action: "Absolvují kurz angličtiny" means they are completing or have completed an English course, depending on context.

Etymology and nuance: absolvovat is a Czech verb of foreign origin, most likely borrowed through German absolvieren from the Latin-root concept of solving or completing a task. It is a perfective verb, and its present tense can be used to describe actions that will be completed in the near future or are currently underway, depending on context. The suffix -ovat marks the infinitive for many Czech verbs, while -ují forms are typical for third-person plural present tense.

Overall, absolvují is a commonly used form to indicate that a group is finishing or has finished a formal educational or training milestone.
