naturální

naturální is a Czech word that translates to "natural" in English. It is a versatile adjective used to describe something that is not artificial, synthetic, or processed. This can apply to a wide range of contexts, including food, materials, and behaviors.

In the context of food, naturální products are those that have undergone minimal processing and do not contain artificial additives, preservatives, or coloring. This often implies a focus on wholesome ingredients and traditional preparation methods. For example, naturální yogurt would be plain yogurt without added sugar or flavorings.

When referring to materials, naturální indicates that something is derived from nature and has not been manufactured or altered significantly. Naturální fabrics, such as cotton or wool, are directly sourced from plants or animals. Similarly, naturální building materials would be those like wood, stone, or earth.

The term can also describe actions or qualities that are spontaneous, unforced, or genuine. A naturální talent is one that someone possesses inherently, without requiring extensive training. A naturální disaster, while not a voluntary act, refers to an event originating from natural processes. The opposite of naturální is typically considered to be umělý (artificial) or zpracovaný (processed). The concept of naturální often carries positive connotations of authenticity and purity.
