iniciují

Iniciují is the third-person plural present tense form of the Czech verb iniciovat, which means to initiate, to begin or to start something, especially a process, program, or project. The nuance often implies the first steps in a planned sequence rather than mere casual starting.

Etymology and usage context

The verb iniciovat is a loanword in Czech, formed with the common -ovat suffix and generally traced to Latin roots via European languages. It is widely used in formal, technical, business, and political discourse, where it describes launching or triggering actions, programs, or initiatives. In everyday language, more familiar verbs such as začít, zahájit, or spustit may be used depending on context and nuance.

Notes on usage

Iniciovat often carries a sense of deliberate planning and organizational action, similar to “to initiate an initiative.” It is common with nouns like program, projekt, jednání, or spolupráce (e.g., iniciují nový program podpory, iniciují jednání). Synonyms include zahájit (to begin formally), spustit (to launch, often with a practical or operational emphasis). The choice of verb can affect nuance: iniciovat emphasizes starting a process, while zahájit emphasizes the opening of an event or period.
