informácie

Informácie is the Slovak plural noun for information. It denotes data, facts, or knowledge that is communicated, stored, or processed, particularly those that reduce uncertainty or enable decision-making. In everyday language, informácie can refer to news, statistics, or factual details about a subject. The singular form is informácia.

In information theory and related disciplines, information is a measure of the reduction of uncertainty produced by a message, often quantified in bits. This formal concept emphasizes structure and probability rather than the semantic content of the message, and it underpins how data is transmitted, compressed, and analyzed in systems and networks.

In practical contexts, informácie are managed within information systems, libraries, media, and the internet. Information governance, privacy, and security are important concerns in handling informácie, as is information literacy—the ability to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively. The term also relates to broader notions of the information society, where flows of informácie influence communication, economy, culture, and policy.

Informácie is closely connected to related Slovak terms such as informácia (singular), dáta (data), and poznanie (knowledge). Its usage spans everyday language, academic discourse, and professional fields dealing with data management, communication, and comput­ing technologies.
