Neprostupný

Neprostupný is a Czech adjective that translates to impassable, impenetrable, or unyielding in English. It is most commonly used to describe physical barriers that are difficult or impossible to pass through. This can include natural obstacles like dense forests, steep cliffs, or wide rivers, as well as man-made structures such as thick walls or heavily fortified positions. The word implies a significant degree of resistance to penetration or passage.

Beyond its literal meaning, neprostupné can also be used metaphorically. It can describe abstract concepts or situations that are difficult to understand, overcome, or penetrate. For example, a complex philosophical argument might be described as neprostupné, meaning it is intellectually challenging to grasp. Similarly, a person’s emotional defenses or a bureaucratic system might be called neprostupné if they are rigid and resistant to change or influence. The core idea remains one of something being blocked or inaccessible.
