Explicitní

Explicitní is an adjective in Czech meaning explicit or clearly stated and unambiguous. It is used to describe information, content, or formulations that are directly expressed rather than inferred from context. The term is common in formal, academic, and technical language as well as in everyday usage when distinguishing between explicit and implicit statements.

Etymology and usage context: explicitní derives from Latin explicitus, through French and other European languages, and has been adopted into Czech with the standard adjective suffix -ní. In Czech, it appears in various domains, including linguistics, media, law, and mathematics, typically indicating clarity or directness of presentation.

Applications in different fields: In media and culture, explicitní obsah refers to content featuring clear or explicit sexual material, violence, or strong language. In linguistics or philosophy, explicitní vyjádření denotes a clearly articulated position or intention. In mathematics and computer science, explicitní formula or explicitní řešení expresses a quantity directly as a function of indices, in contrast to implicit or recursive definitions. For example, the nth term of a sequence can be given by an explicitní vzorec, such as a_n = 2^n, rather than through a recurrence relation.

Grammatical notes: explicitní is an adjective that agrees with the noun in gender, number, and case. The adverb form is explicitně, used to describe how something is stated or done. Related forms include explicitnost (noun) and, less commonly, explicitně as an adverbial modifier.
