vyplatit

Vyplatit is a Czech verb meaning to pay out or disburse money, to settle or pay off a debt, and in some contexts to be financially worthwhile. It is used in finance, payroll, contracts, and everyday speech to describe the act of distributing funds to recipients or fulfilling a financial obligation. The phrase vyplatí se is idiomatic and means that something is worth it or will pay off in the long run.

Grammatical notes: Vyplatit is a perfective verb formed with the prefix vy- added to platit. It is transitive and takes a direct object naming what is paid (for example, dividendy, mzdu, dluh, odměnu, náhradu). Common tense forms include vyplatí (he/she/it pays out), vyplatí se (it pays off), and vyplatil/vyplatila/vyplatilo (paid out). The related noun forms are výplata (payout) and vyplácení (the act of paying out).

Usage and nuance: Vyplatit covers a range from distributing funds to creditors, employees, or investors to settling obligations. In investment or business contexts, it often implies that the action yields a positive financial result. The collocation výplata refers to the actual payment, while vyplácení denotes the ongoing process of paying out.

Examples: Společnost vyplatila akcionářům dividendy. Zaměstnavatel vyplatí mzdu dnes. Investice se vyplatí. Dluh byl vyplacen v plné výši.
