Nekonkretizuje

Nekonkretizuje is the third-person singular present tense form of the Czech verb nekonkretizovat, which means to fail to specify or to refrain from making something concrete. The negated form expresses that the subject does not provide precise details, does not clarify, or leaves aspects ambiguous.

The verb is built from the prefix ne- indicating negation and the verb konkretizovat, which means to make something concrete or to specify details. Konkretizovat itself is a standard Czech formation derived from the concept of concreteness, often used in formal or technical language to describe the act of detailing or defining specifics. The related noun is konkretizace (concretization, specification).

Nekonkretizuje is commonly used in journalism, politics, business, and academia to describe statements or plans that lack precise information. It can emphasize vagueness in a response, a proposal, or a policy, sometimes with a critical nuance, but context determines whether it carries a negative or neutral tone. For example: “Odpověď vlády nekonkretizuje, kdy budou zavedeny jednotlivé reformy.” or “Projekt nekonkretizuje rozpočet a termíny implementace.”

Related forms include nekonkretizovat (the base infinitive), nekonkretizuje (present tense), nekonkretizovali/nekonkretizovaly (past tense), and nekonkretizace (the act of not specifying). A common antonym is upřesnit or konkretizovat, meaning to specify or to clarify.
