Velkoploné

Velkoploné is a term used in Czech to describe a broad or wide expanse. It can refer to a landscape, a piece of land, or even a conceptual space that is characterized by its considerable size and openness. The word itself is a compound of "velký" meaning large or great, and "plochý" meaning flat or wide. Therefore, "velkoploné" inherently suggests a vast, undifferentiated area.

In a geographical context, velkoploné landscapes might include extensive plains, steppes, or large open fields. These areas often lack significant topographical features such as mountains or deep valleys, contributing to their sense of openness. The term can also be used to describe the visual impression of such a landscape, emphasizing the feeling of looking out over a great distance.

Beyond physical geography, velkoploné can be applied metaphorically. For instance, it might describe a wide-ranging project, a broad intellectual field, or an extensive period of time. The core idea remains one of significant scope and unconfined extent. The specific meaning is usually inferred from the context in which the word is used.
