hned

Hned is a term with multiple uses, most notably as a Czech adverb meaning immediately or at once. In modern Czech it is commonly used to express immediacy in both spoken and written language. Examples include phrases such as "hned teď" (right now) or "hned po obědě" (immediately after lunch). As an adverb, hned does not inflect for gender or number and is used in a wide range of registers, from everyday speech to formal writing. It should not be confused with related words such as "hněd" or "hnědý," which mean brown.

Beyond its linguistic use, hned can appear as a surname in Czech and Slovak contexts. The surname is uncommon, and while genealogical records may list individuals with the name, there is no widely known figure associated with it on an international scale.

In addition, hnED or HNED may be encountered as an acronym, product name, or brand in various domains. Such uses are context-specific and do not point to a single, universally recognized entity. As with many short terms, understanding the intended meaning requires attention to the surrounding context.
