celoivotné

Celoivotní is not a standard Czech word and is typically considered a misspelling or typographical error for celoživotní, which means lifelong or spanning a person’s entire life. The correct form celoživotní derives from celo- meaning whole or entire and životní from život, life. Because celoivotní is not recognized in authoritative Czech dictionaries, it should be avoided in formal writing.

In usage, celoživotní is the established term in education, insurance, health and social policy, and related areas. Examples include celoživotní vzdělávání (lifelong learning), celoživotní pojištění (whole-life or lifelong insurance), and celoživotní péče (lifelong care). The term signals actions or statuses that extend across the entire duration of a person’s life, typically from birth onward.

The distinction from similar expressions is important. Doživotní (for life, until death) is a related but distinct concept often used in legal contexts, such as doživotní důchody or doživotní smlouvy. While doživotní emphasizes the period up to death, celoživotní emphasizes the entirety of life, sometimes with nuance in policy or program descriptions.

In Czech usage, if you encounter celoivotní, it is prudent to interpret it as a misspelling of celoživotní and replace it accordingly. The Slovak equivalent is celoživotný, reflecting the same lifelong sense.
