Nevhodný

Nevhodné is a Czech adjective meaning inappropriate or unsuitable. It is formed with the negation prefix ne- attached to vhodný, which means fit or suitable. The word is used to describe actions, behavior, content, timing, or situations that do not meet normative standards or expectations. The neuter singular form nevhodné appears in predicates and when modifying neuter nouns, as in To je nevhodné (That is inappropriate). The masculine and feminine forms are nevhodný and nevhodná, respectively, and the word also takes plural forms according to the noun it describes.

Usage and semantics:

Nevhodné is commonly applied in etiquette, professional communication, education, media, and online contexts to flag conduct, remarks, or material that is not appropriate for a given setting. It can refer to concrete acts (nevhodný comment), broader behavior (nevhodné chování), content (nevhodný obsah), or timing (nevhodný okamžik). The adverbial form nevhodně describes actions done in an inappropriate way. The related noun nevhodnost denotes the quality or state of being inappropriate or unsuitable.

Context and nuance:

The term carries a neutral-to-critical tone, depending on context. It does not imply a moral judgment as strongly as stronger words might, but it signals that norms, rules, or expectations have not been met. In teaching and moderation, nevhodné content or behavior is typically subject to review, guidance, or correction.
