vydám

Vydám is the first-person singular form of the Czech and Slovak perfective verb vydat, meaning to publish, issue, or release something to the public. It expresses a future action: the speaker intends or commits to making something public, such as a book, a statement, or an official document. The imperfective counterpart is vydávat, whose present tense forms include vydávám (I publish / I am publishing).

Etymology: from vy- (prefix indicating outward culmination) and dát "to give." Related nouns include vydání (edition, release) and agents such as vydavatel (publisher) and vydavatelství (publishing house).

Usage: common in publishing, media, literature, and administrative language. In publishing, vydat denotes releasing a work; in administration and law, it can mean to issue an order or decision (vydat rozhodnutí).

Examples: Czech: "Zítra vydám novou kapitolu." "Vydám knihu příští rok." Slovak: "Vydám knihu budúci rok." In everyday speech, forms like vydám (future) and vydávám (present) are distinguished by aspect.
