poznámky

Poznámky is a Czech noun, the plural form of poznámka, meaning a note, remark, or annotation. It denotes a short piece of information attached to a text or document, used to clarify, reference, or remember something. The term is common across contexts, from formal writing to everyday note‑taking, and can refer to brief remarks, marginal comments, or standalone memos.

In writing and publishing,poznámky include footnotes (poznámky pod čarou) and endnotes, which provide citations, explanations, or supplementary information without interrupting the main text. Marginal notes (poznámky na okraj) may accompany editions of manuscripts or maps. The concept also appears in digital texts and word-processing tools as inline notes or comments.

In everyday life, people create poznámky as reminders, study notes, or summaries of sources. They are often organized in a physical notebook (poznámkový blok) or in digital forms such as apps and document comments. In Czech language software localization, the default notes application is often labeled Poznámky, reflecting the broad use of the term for stored information.

Etymology and usage notes: the word is native to Czech and formed from the root related to noticing or knowing (pozn-), with the noun-forming suffix -ka. Thus, poznámka connotes information that has been noticed and deemed worth recording. The plural poznámky is widely used for multiple such entries across personal, educational, and professional contexts.
