ustanovuje

Ustanovuje is a present-tense, third-person singular form found in several Slavic languages, used with the sense of establishing, setting up, or determining something. It appears in languages such as Czech and Slovak as part of the verb system based on the stem ustanov- (for example, ustanovovat/ustanoviť), and in South Slavic languages as a related form of ustanoviti or its imperfective counterpart. The exact meaning and usage depend on the language and context, but the core sense is to enact or fix something in place.

Etymology and cognates center on a common Slavic root related to establishing, placing, or fixing. The form reflects the ongoing action of making something operative or official, rather than simply naming it. Across languages, similar roots give rise to parallel verbs with related meanings such as to establish rules, institutions, agreements, or procedures.

Usage and context vary by language and register. In formal or administrative prose, ustanovuje can denote the act of establishing laws, institutions, or policies, or of determining standards. In Czech and Slovak, the form corresponds to the third-person singular present indicative of the corresponding verb. In Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian, closely related spellings exist (with minor orthographic adjustments), used in official and conventional discourse to express “establishes” or “is establishing.”

Notes and related forms. The noun nustanova or ustanova in some Slavic languages means institution or establishment and shares the same root, though it functions as a different part of speech. Related verbs include ustanovit, ustanoviti, and their imperfective counterparts, which cover additional nuances such as appointing or setting up over time.
