Poškození zdokumentujeme stejně.

Because Czech often omits subject pronouns when they are clear from the verb form.

Here, zdokumentujeme means we will document. The ending -me tells you the subject is we, so adding my (we) is usually unnecessary.

So:

• zdokumentujeme = we will document
• my zdokumentujeme = we will document, but with extra emphasis on we

In normal neutral speech, Czech usually leaves my out.

Poškození is a neuter noun. In this sentence it means damage or the damage.

It comes from the verb poškodit = to damage. As a noun, poškození can mean:

• damage as a result
• sometimes damage / damaging in a more abstract sense, depending on context

In this sentence, it is most naturally understood as the damage being documented.

Here it is in the accusative, because it is the direct object of zdokumentujeme (we will document).

However, for many neuter nouns in Czech, the nominative and accusative singular look the same. That is true here:

• nominative: poškození
• accusative: poškození

So you know it is accusative from its role in the sentence, not from a different ending.

This is a very common Czech feature.

Zdokumentujeme is a perfective verb form. In Czech, the present-tense form of a perfective verb usually has future meaning.

So:

• dokumentujeme = we are documenting / we document
• zdokumentujeme = we will document / we will finish documenting

The prefix z- makes the verb perfective and gives it a sense of a completed action.

The main difference is aspect.

• dokumentujeme = imperfective
  • focuses on the process
  • can mean we are documenting or we document
• zdokumentujeme = perfective
  • focuses on the action as completed
  • usually means we will document it / we will get it documented

So zdokumentujeme suggests something like we’ll make sure the documentation is done.

Here stejně most likely means anyway, all the same, or regardless.

So the sentence can mean something like:

• We’ll document the damage anyway.
• We’ll document the damage all the same.

This word is a little tricky because stejně can also mean equally / the same way in other contexts. But in this sentence, the most natural meaning is probably anyway.

Czech word order is more flexible than English word order. Placing stejně at the end is natural and can give it a slight emphasis.

So:

• Poškození zdokumentujeme stejně.
• Stejně poškození zdokumentujeme.

Both are possible, but they may sound slightly different in emphasis.

With stejně at the end, the sentence can feel a bit like:

• We’ll document the damage anyway.

with anyway carrying the final stress.

Here it is singular.

• singular: poškození = damage
• plural: poškození = damages / instances of damage

So the form can look the same in singular and plural. You tell the difference from context.

In this sentence, it is most naturally understood as singular: the damage.

In theory, stejně can sometimes mean in the same way, so a sentence with stejně can have that kind of meaning in some contexts.

But in Poškození zdokumentujeme stejně, the most likely meaning is anyway / all the same, especially because zdokumentujeme is perfective and future-like.

If someone wanted to say we will document the damage in the same way, Czech would usually make that clearer from context or with additional wording.

Because Czech has no articles. There is no direct equivalent of a or the in ordinary noun forms.

So poškození can mean:

• damage
• the damage
• sometimes even some damage

The exact meaning depends on context.

In this sentence, English will usually need the damage, but Czech does not mark that explicitly.
