In a sentence

The word 'což' is used here as a relative pronoun referring to the previous clause, indicating a cause-effect relationship.
Řekl jsi, že to uděláš, což se nakonec nestalo.
You said you would do it, which in the end did not happen.
In this context, 'což' acts as a linking word to introduce a contrast with the earlier statement.
