Hi, Would this be the "cash supply team" or something like that? - i.e. the team responsible for replenishing the cash in ATMs? "dotac'ni skupina" of a...

I'd be grateful for your comments on this use of the word dotace: odcizil ... dve kazety pro dotaci ATM s bankovkami hodnoty 1 000 Kc a 2 000 Kc I'm used to...

It sounds strange to a Czech NS, probably a kind of company newspeak. The common word is "doplnovat" a "doplnovani". They surely mean replenishing and...
Hi Dylan, From my - Czech - perspective - 'dotace' is just a weird jargon name for what any native Czech would call recharging/refilling ATMs. And these kazety...
Thank you, Martin and Petr, for your comments on this weird newspeak! The company which may have originated this jargon has a "dotac'ni skupina". I hope it's...

Yes, Dylan, dotacni is an adjective derived from dotace, but as I said, no sane native Czech except for these guys would ever use 'dotace' or 'dotacni' when...

I guess "por.Bc name" means a lieutnant with a university degree (bachelor). Normally, I would understand "odstrezit" as the finite version of "strezit", i.e....
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Bc - so that's the academic qualification. Thanks for suggesting "bay", John. One or two other words came to mind. I'm ...

Just 'suspect' and 'suspected/suspicious car'. They are obviously trying to add some embellishments to the text - and the outcome is just a disaster, as...
As I suspected! Thank you, Martin. I did wonder whether vytipovany added anything useful to the meaning... In the second case, they're talking about a camera...
