Otkopi

Otkopi is a word of Slavic origin, most commonly found in languages such as Serbian, Croatian, and Slovenian. It translates to "excavations" or "digs" in English. The term generally refers to the process or the results of digging or excavating, often related to archeological sites, mining operations, or construction projects. It can refer to the act of excavating itself, or to the physical holes or trenches created through the process. Context is key in determining the precise meaning. For example, an archeologist might refer to "otkopi" at a dig site, while a construction worker might use the term when discussing trenches for laying pipes. The word implies the removal of earth or other materials to reveal something underneath or to create space. It carries a connotation of uncovering or revealing, not simply moving soil.
