potvrzují

Potvrzují is a 3rd person plural present indicative form of the Czech verb potvrzovat (or its perfective form potvrdít/potvrdit). It means they confirm or verify. As a present-tense form, it is used when a group or multiple subjects are actively asserting the truth of a statement, fact, or claim.

The related noun is potvrzení, meaning a confirmation or acknowledgment. Related verbal forms include potvrzující (confirming, the present participle) and potvrzování (the act of confirming). The verb is commonly used in formal and journalistic language, as well as in everyday speech, to indicate that information has been checked and accepted as true or accurate by the subjects involved.

Usage and contexts vary. In journalism and official communication, potvrzují is used to report that sources or documents corroborate a claim, e.g., New evidence confirms the hypothesis or The documents confirm the account. In science and research, it can describe replication or validation of results, e.g., Additional studies confirm the finding. In administration or business, it appears when authorities or organizations confirm schedules, statuses, or compliance, e.g., The company confirms the delay.

Nuance and style. Potvrzují conveys a sense of verification by multiple parties or official confirmation, rather than a casual personal assertion. It is contrasted with ověřují (to verify, often implying checking accuracy), and with potvrzení as the outcome of the act. Overall, potvrzují is a standard, neutral form used to express that information has been affirmed or corroborated by the involved subjects.
