zapoítávat

Zapoítávat is a Czech verb that means to offset, deduct, or take into account. It is commonly used in financial and legal contexts to describe the process of subtracting one amount from another or considering a particular factor when making a calculation. For instance, in accounting, salaries might be započítané against debts. In legal proceedings, certain damages might be započítané against awarded compensation. The term implies a balancing or setting off of sums or considerations. It can also be used more generally to mean to include or to reckon with something, suggesting that something is an integral part of a larger whole or process. The core idea is that of mutual adjustment or cancellation.
