naznaení

Naznačení is a Czech noun of neuter gender that denotes the act of indicating, hinting, or outlining something. It stems from the verb naznačit, meaning to indicate, to hint, to sketch briefly, or to imply. The term is used for a partial or indirect presentation that points to a fact, plan, or conclusion without providing full details.

In usage, naznačení can refer to a sign, gesture, or remark that suggests more than is stated directly. It is common in linguistic, literary, and analytical contexts where ideas are introduced in a non-explicit way. For example, a passage may offer naznačení of a character’s motive without explicitly stating it, or diagrams may provide naznačení of a method rather than a complete procedure. In everyday language, naznačení describes a subtle indication rather than a complete instruction.

Related terms include náznak, which more specifically means a hint or trace, and naznačovat, the verb meaning to indicate or to hint. The nuances distinguish an outright statement from a broader, less explicit indication.

See also: náznak, znak, indicie, naznačovat, znamení.

Naznačení thus functions as a linguistic and rhetorical device for presenting information indirectly, allowing readers or listeners to infer meanings from partial signals rather than from explicit statements.
