redukují

Redukují is the third-person plural present tense form of the Czech verb redukovat, meaning to reduce, decrease, or lessen. It is used with subjects such as firmy, vlády, nebo instituce, to describe actions that lower quantities, costs, or impacts.

Grammatical notes: redukují follows the regular pattern of -ovat verbs in Czech. The full present tense paradigm is: já redukuji, ty redukuješ, on/ona redukuje, my redukujeme, vy redukujete, oni redukují.

Usage: The form is common in technical, economic, and policy contexts, as well as in everyday language when referring to reducing figures or levels. In some contexts, synonyms like snižují or omezují may express nuance differences. In chemistry and related sciences, the related verb redukovat is used to describe reduction in a chemical sense, while redukující nebo redukční can describe processes or agents that effect reduction.

Examples:

- Vláda slíbila, že redukují emisní množství v nadcházejících letech.

- Chemické reakce mohou vést ke snížení oxidačního stavu, tedy ke redukci.

Etymology: The verb redukovat is a standard Czech verb formed with the suffix -ovat and shares its semantic field with other international terms for reduction, reflecting common Slavic and European lexical influence. Redukční formy like redukují thus arise from this root in everyday and specialized usage.
