nejchladnjí

Nejchladnjí is a nonstandard form of the Czech adjective phrase intended to mean “the coldest.” In standard Czech, the correct superlative is nejchladnější. The variant nejchladnjí appears mainly in informal writing, social media, memes, or dialectal contexts, and is generally treated as nonstandard or humorous. It is not listed as an accepted orthographic form in standard references.

The form may arise from informal stylization, typing shortcuts, or dialect influence, and it can be found in texts where emphasis on extreme cold is the goal. Because it does not follow the standard morphological pattern, nejchladnjí is primarily a stylistic choice rather than a accepted grammatical form. It is sometimes written with or without diacritics depending on the medium.

Usage examples illustrate its nonstandard status. For example, a sentence like “Byl to nejchladnjí večer, jaký jsem kdy zažil” would be understood as emphasizing extreme cold, but the standard form would be “Byl to nejchladnější večer.” Such usage is more typical in creative writing, humor, or online communication than in formal texts.

Linguists and language references generally regard nejchladnjí as a deviation from standard Czech, used for effect rather than as part of normative grammar. Learners are advised to use nejchladnější in formal contexts and when aiming for correct orthography.
