zohledují

Zohledují is a Czech verb form that comes from the verb zohledovat (and its perfective zohlednit). It means to take into account or to consider particular factors or circumstances in the course of judging, deciding, or evaluating something. The term is commonly used to express that certain elements should be weighed or reflected upon when forming conclusions or making decisions.

Etymology and related terms: The prefix z- combined with the root ohled (regard, consideration) yields a meaning close to “bring into regard.” Related verbs include zohlednit (to take into account, to consider thoroughly) and zohledňovat (to take into account repeatedly or habitually). Synonyms in context include brát v úvahu, vzít v úvahu, and zvažovat.

Usage and nuance: Zohledují is typically found in formal writing, policy documents, legal texts, budgeting reports, and evaluative analyses. It signals an explicit effort to acknowledge relevant factors such as costs, risks, benefits, or specific circumstances. The term emphasizes the act of incorporating considerations into decisions rather than merely describing those considerations.

Grammatical note: Zohledují is the third-person plural present tense form of the verb zohledovat (or its variant forms). Czech verbs with the z- prefix often have multiple aspectual forms, including imperfective and perfective variants; zohlednit and zohledovat are common pairs used to describe momentary versus ongoing taking-into-account.
