rozvoju

Rozvoju is the dative singular and locative singular form of the Czech noun rozvoj, which means development, growth, or progress. The noun refers to the process by which something becomes more developed or advanced, and it is used across many domains such as economy, technology, urban planning, education, and regional policy. Phrases like o rozvoji (about development), v rozvoji technologií (in the development of technologies), or podpora rozvoji regionů (support for the development of regions) illustrate its typical usage.

Etymology and usage context: Rozvoj comes from the verb rozvíjet (to develop, to expand) with the prefix roz-, indicating unfolding or expansion. It belongs to a family of terms tied to growth and improvement, including rozvíjet, rozvojový (developmental), and rozvojová politika. In everyday Czech, rozvoj is used when referring to systematic, planned growth, as opposed to Růst, which more often denotes numerical growth, or Pokrok, which emphasizes progress or improvement.

Common collocations and fields: rozvoj ekonomiky (development of the economy), regionální rozvoj (regional development), rozvoj infrastruktury (infrastructure development), lidský rozvoj (human development), rozvoj technologií (development of technologies), rozvojové projekty or programy pro rozvoj (development projects or development programs). In policy and planning texts, Rozvoj is frequently discussed alongside terms such as udržitelný rozvoj (sustainable development) and strategický rozvoj (strategic development).

Notes: rozvoju is not a standalone lexical item; it is a grammatical form used to mark indirect objects or locations in sentences, governed by prepositions and verbs that require the dative or locative case.
