schvaluje

Schvaluje is a Czech verb form meaning "approves" or "endorses." It is the third-person singular present tense of the imperfective verb schvalovat (to approve) and is commonly used in administrative, legal, political, and organizational contexts to indicate that a person or body has given approval.

In terms of aspect and usage, schvalovat is imperfective, so schvaluje describes an ongoing or habitual act of approving. The corresponding perfective form is schválit, whose present tense is typically used to refer to a single, completed act in the future; for example, schválí znamená že to schválí (he will approve). Noun forms related to the act of approval include schvalování (the act of approving) and schválení (the approval itself).

The phrase commonly appears with subjects such as councils, committees, boards, or officials. For example, "Rada schvaluje návrh rozpočtu" translates to "The council approves the budget proposal," and "Poslanec schvaluje navržené změny" means "The deputy approves the proposed changes."

Etymologically, the verb is of Czech origin, built from the root schval- with the prefix s-. It has cognates in related Slavic languages, such as Slovak schvaľuje, which share the same core meaning.

Related terms include schvalování, schválení, and the related verbs schválit (to approve, perfective) and schvalně (approved, as an adjective). The word is standard in formal and official discourse and is widely understood in Czech-language political and administrative writing.
