vykonává

Vykonává is the present tense, third-person singular form of the Czech verb vykonávat, meaning to perform, carry out, or execute an action or duty. As an imperfective verb, vykonávat generally describes ongoing, habitual, or repeated activity. The perfective counterpart is vykonat, whose third-person present form is vykoná; this form typically expresses a completed action or a future single occurrence depending on context.

The term is used in both everyday speech and formal registers, including administrative, legal, and organizational contexts. It collocates with nouns such as povinnost, funkce, pravomoc, and projekt, in phrases like vykonávat povinnost (to perform one's duty), vykonávat funkci (to hold a function), or vykonávat pravomoc (to exercise authority). For example: Organizace vykonává dohled nad projektem, ensuring oversight of the project’s progress.

Etymologically, vykonávat is built on the verb konat with the prefix vy-, and it lies in the same semantic family as related verbs such as provádět or realizovat, which can be used in similar contexts to express carrying out actions or procedures. The imperfective–perfective distinction guides usage: vykonává signals ongoing action, while vykoná (the perfective form) signals a completed action or a future occurrence.

Conjugation note: In present indicative, the forms are: já vykonávám, ty vykonáváš, on/ona vykonává, my vykonáváme, vy vykonáváte, oni vykonávají. This pattern helps indicate ongoing responsibility or duties across subjects in sentences describing routine or repeated activities.
