správu

Správa is a feminine noun in Czech and Slovak with several related meanings, all derived from the verb spravovat meaning to manage. In both languages, the core sense is administration or governance: the administration of an organization, institution, territory, or property. For example, správa města refers to a city’s administration, správa firmy to company management, and správa majetku to asset management. The term can also denote the body or the process responsible for running an entity, as in the administrative apparatus of a state or a company.

In Slovak, správa has an additional everyday meaning related to information transfer: it can mean a message or a news item. The plural správy is commonly used for news reports or messages (for instance, televízne správy means TV news). The same root appears in phrases such as poslať správu (to send a message). While Czech usage centers on organizational administration, Slovak usage spans administration, messages, and news contexts.

Grammatically, správa is feminine, with typical inflection patterns in both languages. The accusative singular form is správu, as in sentences that require a direct object. Related forms include správce (administrator, manager) and spravovať (to manage).

Usage and context vary by language and domain. In official or organizational discourse, správa is common for referring to governance or management structures. In everyday Slovak, správa may also denote a message or news item, broadening its practical range beyond pure administration.
