operací

Operací is the genitive plural form of the Czech noun operace, which means operation, procedure, or surgery. It is used to express “of operations” and to indicate quantity in phrases describing multiple operations, for example, po čet operací (the number of operations) or počet vojenských operací (the number of military operations). The basic form operace denotes the singular or plural nominative, depending on context, while operací marks the genitive plural.

In usage, operace covers medical surgeries, mathematical or computational operations, and military or strategic operations. The genitive plural operací commonly appears after numerals and quantifiers, such as několik operací (several operations) or mnoho operací (many operations). In other contexts, the plural form operace functions as the standard nominative plural.
