Nevyhovující

Nevyhovující is a Czech adjective meaning unsatisfactory, unsuitable, or not meeting required standards. It is used to describe outcomes, performances, goods, or services that do not fulfill specified criteria or expectations.

It is formed with the prefix ne- attached to vyhovující, the present participle of vyhovět (to satisfy, to comply). The combination yields nevyhovující meaning not satisfying or not compliant. It is a standard Czech adjective and is declined like other adjectives; the exact endings depend on gender, number, and case. It is the negation of vyhovující, meaning satisfactory or compliant.

Nevyhovující is common in formal and semi-formal discourse. In consumer affairs and quality control, it describes goods or services that fail to meet standards, e.g., nevyhovující zboží (unsatisfactory goods). In contract or service contexts, it can denote nevyhovující plnění (unsatisfactory performance) or nevyhovující služba (unsatisfactory service). In official language, it marks items that do not comply with required requirements.
