provádná

Provádní is a Czech term that is not widely used in contemporary standard language. It is usually considered a nonstandard, archaic, or dialectal variant related to the verb provádět, which means to carry out, perform, or implement. In standard Czech, the forms most commonly used to express this idea are provádění (the act of carrying out or implementing), as well as the participles prováděný (performed) and provádějící (performing).

Because provádní is not standard, its appearance can reflect historic spelling, regional variation, or a simple misform. In modern texts, one should prefer provádění for the noun meaning “the execution or implementation of something,” and prováděný or provádějící for adjectival or participial use.

Usage contexts

- Law and governance: provádění zákonů (enforcement or implementation of laws)

- Projects and administration: provádění projektu (implementation of a project)

- Arts and culture: provádění díla or provádění hudby (performance of a work), though in music and theatre more common terms are výkon or provedení in certain dialects

- Science and industry: provádění experimentů or provádění procesů (conducting experiments, implementing processes)

Etymology and relation to other terms

- Derived from the verb provádět. The nominal form provádění is the standard noun for “the act of carrying out,” while the related adjectives are prováděný and provádějící. Related concepts include realizace (realization) and implementace (implementation).
