Bedeutung
Completing school assignments.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Czech schools traditionally give homework even over the weekend, though there is a growing movement to reduce this. The 'družina' is a unique Czech institution where younger children do their homework under supervision after school. The phrase 'domácí úkol' is often used by politicians to refer to reforms required by the EU. Parents are legally responsible for ensuring their children 'dělat úkoly' as part of compulsory education.
Use 'Psát' for writing
If you are physically writing in a notebook, 'psát úkoly' sounds very natural and native.
Don't say 'Dělám domácí práce'
This means you are cleaning the house, not studying!
