informatívne

Informatívne is a Slovak adjective meaning providing information or designed to inform. It describes content, materials, or presentations that aim to convey facts, explanations, or insights in a clear and useful way. The term is commonly used in journalism, education, and public communication to evaluate the informative quality of material.

In practice, informativne is used to characterize the purpose and quality of information. It often contrasts with terms that emphasize existence of information rather than its quality, such as informational or informational-focused contexts. For example, one might speak of an informativne materiály (informative materials) that give a concise overview, or a informativna prezentácia (informative presentation) that aims to educate the audience. A masculine singular form example is informatívny článok (informative article), while a feminine singular example is informatívna prednáška (informative lecture).

Etymology and grammar: informativne is derived from the verb informovať (to inform) with the adjectival suffix -ívny/-ová/-é, yielding different gender and number forms. In Slovak, adjectives agree with the noun they modify, so informatívne can appear in neuter singular or plural positions, and its other forms include informatívny (masculine singular) and informatívna (feminine singular).

See also: informačný, which is related but focuses more broadly on information or information-related aspects rather than the quality of being informative.
