hodnotící

Hodnotící is a Czech present participle and adjective formed from the verb hodnotit, meaning to evaluate or assess. It denotes something related to evaluation or the act of evaluating. In usage, it appears in compound nouns and phrases such as hodnotící zpráva (evaluation report), hodnotící formulář (evaluation form), and hodnotící kritéria (evaluation criteria).

In grammar, hodnotící behaves as a regular Czech adjective: it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case (for example, hodnotící pracovník, hodnotící proces, hodnotící systém). The form is the same in masculine and feminine singular, with appropriate inflection in other cases and numbers. It is commonly used in both attributive and predicative positions and can function within noun phrases that designate an evaluative or assessing aspect of a process, document, or person.

Typical contexts for the term include education (exams, grading, and feedback), human resources (performance assessment), research (evaluative studies), and public administration (audits and reviews). The word conveys a sense of assessment-oriented activity or characteristics, as opposed to neutral description alone.

Related terms include hodnotit (to evaluate), hodnocení (evaluation or assessment), and evaluace (evaluation, often borrowed from related languages). In English, equivalents are evaluating or evaluative, while hodnocení corresponds to assessment. Hodnotící thus serves as a versatile descriptor in formal Czech discourse to indicate evaluative aspects of documents, procedures, or roles.
