Questions & Answers about Změnu místa trvalého pobytu lze zaevidovat na základě souhlasu oprávněné osoby.
What does lze mean here?
Lze means it is possible, one can, or in more natural English here, can be.
In this sentence, lze zaevidovat means something like:
- can be registered
- may be recorded
- is possible to register
This is a very common formal, impersonal construction in Czech. It avoids saying exactly who does the action.
Compare:
- Změnu lze zaevidovat. = The change can be registered.
- Úřad může změnu zaevidovat. = The office can register the change.
The version with lze sounds more official and bureaucratic.
Why is it změnu and not změna?
Because změnu is the accusative singular of změna.
The verb zaevidovat takes a direct object — the thing being registered. That direct object must be in the accusative:
- změna = change (nominative, dictionary form)
- změnu = change (accusative singular)
So:
- zaevidovat změnu = to register a change
If you used změna, it would sound like the change is the subject, which is not what is happening here.
