Snadný

snadná is the feminine singular nominative form of the Czech adjective snadný, which means easy, simple, or effortless. The word is used to describe tasks, situations, objects, or people that lack difficulty or complexity. It can also be applied metaphorically to feelings or processes, as in snadná přemýšlení (easy thinking).

The adjective appears in several declensional forms. The masculine nominative is snadný, neuter snadné, and the plural forms are snadní for masculine, snadná for feminine, and snadná for neuter. The comparative form is snadnější, meaning easier. Like many Slavic adjectives, it agrees in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies: snadná cesta (easy path), snadné úkoly (easy tasks), snadné rozhodnutí (easy decision).

Etymologically, snadný derives from Proto‑Slavic *snadъ, with cognates in other Slavic languages such as Russian снадобье (fate, luck). In Czech modern usage, the word can appear in idiomatic expressions: snadná cesta (a most of a number that is unnecessary), and it is commonly used in everyday speech and literature to emphasize simplicity. The term is documented in authoritative Czech dictionaries, including the Slovník Českého Jazyka and the Prague Czech Dictionary, where synonyms such as jednoduchý and lehký are listed.
