navlhlý

Navlhlý is a Czech word that can be translated to damp, moist, or slightly wet. It describes a state of being not fully dry, but also not saturated with liquid. The term is often used to describe materials that have absorbed some moisture from the air or from contact with a liquid.

In everyday language, navlhlý can refer to a variety of things. Clothing might be described as navlhlý if it was hung to dry but is still slightly damp. Soil can be navlhlý after a light rain, indicating it is moist but not waterlogged. Even the air can feel navlhlý on a humid day, suggesting a high level of moisture content.

The degree of dampness implied by navlhlý is generally mild. It doesn't suggest something is dripping wet or soaked through. Instead, it conveys a sense of a gentle absorption of moisture, often resulting in a slightly cool or clammy feeling. The opposite of navlhlý would be suchý, meaning dry.
