Upozornní is a Czech word that translates to "warning" or "alert" in English. It is commonly used in various contexts, including traffic signs, public notices, and everyday communication, to draw attention to potential risks or important information.

In the Czech Republic, the term is frequently seen on road signs, particularly those indicating hazards such as sharp turns, uneven road surfaces, or animal crossings. These signs are designed to inform drivers and pedestrians of potential dangers ahead, helping to prevent accidents. For example, a sign with the word *upozornění* paired with an icon of a deer might warn drivers that wild animals may cross the road in that area.

Beyond traffic, *upozornění* is also used in broader contexts, such as workplace safety notices, public health advisories, or even informal warnings between individuals. In digital communication, it may appear in software interfaces or websites to alert users to important actions, such as updating passwords or confirming a deletion.

It is derived from the verb *upozornit*, meaning "to warn" or "to alert."

The use of *upozornění* reflects the Czech language’s emphasis on clarity and direct communication, ensuring that messages are understood quickly and effectively. Its application spans both official and informal settings, reinforcing its role as a key tool for conveying important notices.
