Nedodríte

Nedodríte is a Czech verb form derived from the verb dodržet, which means to observe, keep, or comply with rules, deadlines, or promises. The form expresses a negation of compliance by the subject and is typically translated as “you will not comply” or “you do not adhere.” In standard Czech, the negated, second-person plural form is nedodržíte; nedodríte can appear in texts as a contracted or simplified rendering in informal usage, but its primary function is as a negated conjugated form of dodržet within a sentence.

Etymology and grammar: nedodríte combines the prefix ne- (negation) with the root dodržet. It belongs to the set of verbal forms used to discuss whether obligations are fulfilled. The broader family includes related terms such as dodržet (to comply), dodržování (compliance, observance), and dodržující (observant, compliant).

Usage: Nedodríte is typically found in administrative, contractual, legal, or editorial contexts where non-compliance, violations, or breaches are being described or warned about. It functions as a verb in a clause rather than as a standalone concept. Common contexts include deadlines, policies, terms of agreement, and rules where non-fulfillment triggers consequences or sanctions. In reporting or quotation, it may appear within direct speech to convey a claim of non-compliance.

Examples: Nedodríte-li podmínky smlouvy, mohou být uplatněny sankce. Pokud nedodríte termíny, hrozí pokuty.

Translations: “you will not comply,” “you do not adhere.” See also: dodržet, dodržování, porušit.
