odbavit

Odbavit is a Czech verb that translates to "to check out," "to dismiss," or "to get rid of" in English. Its precise meaning can vary depending on the context in which it is used. In the context of travel, it commonly refers to the act of checking out of a hotel or accommodation. This involves settling any outstanding bills, returning keys, and officially vacating the premises.

Beyond hotels, "odbavit" can also describe the process of dealing with or handling a task or a person. For instance, one might "odbavit" a customer at a shop, meaning to serve or attend to them. In a more figurative sense, it can imply dealing with something quickly or efficiently, sometimes to the point of being perfunctory. It can also carry the connotation of getting rid of something unwanted, whether it be a problem, a responsibility, or even an annoying individual. The act of "odbavit" often suggests a completion or resolution of a particular situation or interaction.
