Questions & Answers about Na základě dokladu o vlastnictví zaevidujeme trvalý pobyt.
Why does the sentence start with na základě? What does that expression mean?
Na základě is a fixed formal expression meaning on the basis of, based on, or according to.
It is very common in official and administrative Czech.
- na základě smlouvy = on the basis of a contract
- na základě žádosti = based on an application
- na základě dokladu o vlastnictví = on the basis of a proof of ownership
So in this sentence, it introduces the document that justifies the registration.
Why is it dokladu and not doklad?
Because na základě requires the genitive case.
The base noun is:
- doklad = a document / proof
But after na základě, it changes to the genitive singular:
- doklad → dokladu
So:
- na základě dokladu = on the basis of a document
This is something you will see often with prepositional expressions in Czech: the preposition or fixed phrase determines the case of the following noun.
