jednání

Jednání is a Czech noun from the verb jednat, meaning to act or conduct. It designates the act of negotiating or the process of discussion aimed at resolving questions, arranging terms, or deciding on actions. The term is used in everyday language as well as in formal institutional contexts.

In law, jednání denotes a procedural hearing or session before a court or other authority. It is the moment when parties present arguments, evidence, and witnesses; depending on jurisdiction, it may be public or private and can culminate in a ruling or other disposition. It is a formal event distinct from written submissions.

In diplomacy and politics, jednat means to negotiate or conduct talks between governments, organizations, or companies. Such negotiations often occur in rounds with a predefined agenda and result in agreements, memoranda, or contracts.

In business and daily life, jednat refers to negotiating terms such as prices, conditions, or contracts. The process typically includes preparation, offers, counteroffers, concessions, and finalization of an agreement.

Thus, jednání covers both informal and formal negotiation and the proceedings surrounding them, with meanings that vary by legal, political, or commercial context.
