nadávej

Nadávej is the imperative form of the Czech verb nadávat, which means to swear, to insult, or to berate someone verbally. As an imperative, nadávej is used to give a direct instruction to someone to speak harshly or to vent anger toward another person. The form is informal and typically found in colloquial speech.

In meaning, nadávat encompasses expressing strong disapproval through rude language, insults, or harsh criticism. When used as a command, nadávej can carry a confrontational or aggressive tone and is generally inappropriate in formal, polite, or civil discourse. The word is closely related to the related noun nadávka, which denotes an insult or curse word.

Morphology and usage notes: the imperative forms are nadávej (2nd person singular) and nadávejte (2nd person plural). The verb nadávat itself has standard Czech conjugation in the present tense, such as nadávám, nadáváš, nadává, nadáváme, nadáváte, nadávají, and the past forms nadával, nadávala, etc. The accent and vowel quality reflect Czech stress patterns typical of the verb family.

Context and connotations: nadávat often describes loud, heated, or personal attacking language. In literature or humor, the imperative form may be used for emphasis or as a character speech cue, but in everyday formal writing it is generally avoided. Alternatives for milder language include kritizovat (to criticize) or hovořit ostře (to speak sharply).
