konrétní

Konkrétní is a Czech word that translates to "concrete," "specific," or "particular" in English. It is used to describe something that is tangible, well-defined, and not abstract or general.

In everyday language, "konkrétní" is often used when asking for more detailed information or to emphasize the need for precise facts. For example, someone might ask, "Máš nejaký konkrétní návrh?" which translates to "Do you have any specific suggestion?" This implies a desire for a proposal that is not vague but rather has clear steps or ideas.

The word can also refer to physical objects that are solid and can be touched. In this sense, it contrasts with something that is conceptual or imaginary. For instance, if discussing building materials, one might refer to "konkrétní cihly" (concrete bricks) to distinguish them from abstract architectural plans.

In a more abstract context, "konkrétní" can denote a particular instance or example of a broader category. For example, when discussing a general principle, one might provide a "konkrétní případ" (a concrete case) to illustrate how the principle applies in practice. This helps to make the abstract concept more understandable by grounding it in a real-world scenario. The usage of "konkrétní" is widespread in various fields, including law, science, and everyday conversation, always aiming to bring clarity and precision to the subject at hand.
