Nechcenému

Nechcenému is a Slovak word that is the dative singular form of the adjective “nechcený,” which translates to “unwilling” or “reluctant” in English. The noun derived from this adjective is “nechce,” meaning “unwilling,” and it is used to describe a person or an object that does not want to be involved in an action or is resistant to a particular situation. The dative case, indicated by the ending –ému, is used when referring to someone as “to or for the unwilling one.”

In literary and everyday Slovak usage, “nechcenému” often appears in phrases such as „pomáhat někomu nechcenému“ (“to help someone unwilling”) or „vstup do domu nechcenému“ (“entry to the house for the unwilling”). These expressions convey a sense of reluctant consent or the need to accommodate the person’s reservations.

The adjective “nechcený” also has the genitive form “nechceného” and the accusative form “nechceného,” each carrying the same base meaning but adapting to grammatical case. In contrast to similar adjectives like “nechotaný” (eager) or “neochotný” (unmoved), “nechcený” is focused on the absence of an internal desire to act.

Slovak dictionaries list “nechcený” as a standard word, and it is included in many Slovak language textbooks and graded reading materials. The word remains in common usage among Slovak speakers, appearing in modern media, literature, and everyday conversations to describe reluctance or unwillingness in various contexts.
