století

století is the Czech word for century. A century is a period of 100 years. It is a common unit of time used in historical and general contexts. The concept of a century is universally understood and applied across different cultures and languages. When referring to a specific century, it is often numbered. For example, the 21st century began in the year 2001 and will end in 2100. The use of centuries helps to organize and categorize historical events and periods, making them more comprehensible. The term "století" in Czech functions identically to "century" in English, signifying a span of one hundred years. It is frequently used in Czech literature, historical accounts, and everyday conversation when discussing timeframes longer than a decade but shorter than a millennium. The division of time into centuries is a fundamental aspect of how humans perceive and record history.
