Nezbývá

Nezbývá is a Czech word that translates to "remains," "is left," or "nothing else to do" in English. It is a verb form, specifically the third-person singular present tense of the reflexive verb "nezbývat se." The core meaning conveys a state of having few or no options remaining, or a situation where only a certain course of action is possible or left.

The phrase "nic nezbývá" is particularly common and means "nothing remains" or "there is no other choice." This can be used in various contexts. For example, if someone has spent all their money, they might say "nic nezbývá" to indicate they have no money left. In a more abstract sense, if a difficult situation has no easy solution, one might state "nic nezbývá" to suggest that a certain, perhaps undesirable, outcome is inevitable.

The word can also imply a sense of resignation or a lack of alternatives. If a person is forced to accept a particular circumstance because no other path is available, "nezbývá" captures this feeling of limited agency. It is a versatile term used to express the depletion of resources, options, or possibilities.
