Nekalým

Nekalým is a term that can refer to several distinct concepts, primarily in the context of Czech language and culture. In a colloquial sense, "nekalým" is the genitive singular masculine or neuter form of the adjective "nekalý," which translates to "unclean," "impure," "dishonest," or "illicit." This usage would typically appear in phrases describing something lacking in purity or rectitude, such as "nekalým úmyslem" (with dishonest intent).

More specifically, "nekalým" can be associated with the historical and legal concept of "nekalá soutěž" in Czech law, which translates to "unfair competition." This term describes business practices that are contrary to good faith and honest commercial dealings, potentially harming competitors or consumers. Such practices can include misleading advertising, acts of confusion, or the exploitation of another's reputation.

In some less common contexts, "nekalým" might be used more broadly to denote anything considered unsavory or disreputable, not necessarily tied to a legal definition. The specific meaning of "nekalým" is heavily dependent on the surrounding words and the context in which it is used, requiring careful attention to the full phrase or sentence for accurate interpretation.
