nadále

Nadále is a Czech adverb meaning still, further, on, or henceforth. It is used to express the continuation of a state, action, or condition beyond a certain point in time. The word carries a formal or semi-formal tone and is frequently found in official, administrative, or legal language.

In usage, nadále typically accompanies verbs or predicates that describe ongoing validity or persistence. Examples include: Smlouva nadále platí (The contract remains in force); Nadále se pracuje na projektu (Work on the project continues); Nadále platí stejné podmínky (The same conditions still apply). The adverb can appear at the end of a clause or near the verb, and it often appears in contexts asserting continuity rather than a one-time event.

Nadále is commonly contrasted with dále (further, more) and other synonyms such as stále or pořád, though it tends to convey a more formal emphasis on ongoing duration. In many texts, nadále and dále are interchangeable depending on tone, with nadále leaning toward sustained continuity across time.

Etymology generally traces nadále to a combination of nad- “over, beyond” and dál/dále “further,” yielding a sense of continuing beyond the present moment. The form is established in modern Czech and remains characteristic of formal discourse.

Translations vary by context and can include “still,” “further,” “onward,” or “henceforth.” In English renderings, choosing the appropriate equivalent depends on whether the emphasis is on continuation up to the present or into the future.
