Prírodzený

Prírodzený is a Slovak adjective that translates to "natural" in English. It describes something that exists or occurs in nature, without artificial interference or manipulation. This can refer to physical phenomena, biological processes, or even qualities and behaviors.

In a literal sense, prírodzený is used to describe things found in the natural world, such as prírodzená krajina (natural landscape), prírodzená energia (natural energy), or prírodzená strava (natural food). It implies authenticity and a lack of synthetic components.

Beyond the literal, prírodzený also denotes a state of being that is unforced, spontaneous, and inherent. For example, one might describe a person's prírodzený talent (natural talent) or a movement as prírodzený (natural, unforced). It suggests that something is in its proper or expected state, without artificial contrivance. This sense can extend to social contexts, referring to prírodzený vývoj (natural development) or prírodzený poriadok (natural order).

The word carries a connotation of genuineness and simplicity. When something is described as prírodzený, it often implies a positive attribute, suggesting it is desirable because it is unadulterated or authentic. It stands in contrast to the artificial, the fabricated, or the forced.
