nehotoví

Nehotoví is a Czech adjective formed with the negating prefix ne- added to hotový (ready, finished). It denotes not ready, unfinished, or incomplete. The term can describe objects, tasks, or people in a general sense and is found in everyday language as well as in journalism or organizational contexts.

Grammatical notes are consistent with standard Czech adjectives of the -ový group. The forms vary by gender and number (for example, masculine singular nehotový, feminine singular nehotová, neuter singular nehotové; masculine animate plural nehotoví, with appropriate forms for other genders in plural). In practice, nehotoví is most commonly used when the speaker wants to emphasize lack of readiness or completion at a given moment.

Usage and nuance: nehotoví typically conveys a temporary state rather than a permanent condition. It is often used in contexts such as project planning, education, or workplace communication to indicate that participants, components, or steps have not yet been completed or prepared. Because it directly labels incompleteness, the term can carry a pragmatic or evaluative tone depending on context.

The term is not a technical concept with a fixed formal definition; rather, it is a standard adjectival form used to describe a state of incompletion in everyday language.
