úlohy

Úlohy is a Czech noun with several related meanings centered on the idea of a task or obligation. The feminine noun úloha, plural úlohy, is used for things to be done, assigned duties, or roles. Common senses include tasks in education, duties in work, and tasks in planning or computing. The most frequent usage is educational: domácí úkol (homework) or matematické úlohy (math problems) that a student is asked to solve. In the workplace, úloha can denote a specific assignment or a piece of work within a project, for example plánovaná úloha or úloha v rámci projektu.

In information technology and administration, the term is used to describe a process or job to be executed by a computer or system, such as a systémová úloha or plánovaná úloha in scheduling contexts. In culture and arts, úloha can also mean a role or part in a play or film, as in její hlavní úloha (her main role).

Another common distinction is between úloha and úkol. Both refer to tasks or assignments, but úloha often carries a sense of a defined piece of work or a designated role, whereas úkol tends to emphasize a duty or assignment with an objective to complete. Usage can vary by register and region, but both terms are widely understood and frequently appear in education, professional settings, and IT discourse. Overall, úlohy encompasses a broad family of tasks, duties, and roles encountered in everyday language.
