inhibuje

Inhibuje is the third-person singular present tense of the Czech verb inhibovat, which means to inhibit, hinder, or suppress. The form is used to indicate that a subject is currently reducing, blocking, or slowing down a process, activity, or growth.

The verb inhibovat is borrowed from Latin inhibere, with related terms such as inhibice (inhibition) and inhibitor (inhibitor). In Czech, these terms are used across scientific and everyday language to describe mechanisms that limit or restrain actions or reactions.

In everyday and scientific usage, inhibovat describes a deliberate or incidental action that reduces activity. In biology and chemistry, it is common to say that a substance inhibits an enzyme, a metabolic pathway, or microbial growth. In social or policy contexts, measures may inhibit certain activities or developments. The noun form inhibice denotes the process or state of inhibition, while adjectives such as inhibiční pertain to inhibiting or inhibitory concepts.

Phrases commonly found with inhibuje include statements like a lék inhibuje enzym X (a drug inhibits enzyme X) or opatření inhibuje růst populací (the measure inhibits population growth). The nuance of inhibition can range from partial reduction to near-complete stoppage, depending on context and the strength of the inhibiting factor.
