nejosamotnjí

Nejosamotnjí is a Czech adjective-form used to express the highest degree of solitude or isolation. It is a nonstandard or stylistic superlative of the root osamot- from adjectives such as osamotný (solitary) or osamotněný (isolated). The term occurs mainly in literary or linguistic contexts and is rarely found in everyday language. In standard Czech, the most common superlatives are nejosamělější (most lonely) and nejosamotněnější (most isolated).

Etymology and morphology: Nejosamotnjí is formed with the prefix nej- to indicate the superlative, combined with a stem related to osamot-, and a typically marked ending. Because it is not part of the everyday standard morphology, its use is regarded as stylistic, dialectal, or experimental. Some language observers treat nejosamotnjí as a historically attested or poetic variant rather than a regular, widely accepted form.

Usage and nuances: The term carries a strong emphatic nuance, signaling an extreme level of solitude beyond common expressions. It is most often found in poetry, literary prose, or theoretical discussions about Czech inflection and stylistic variation. In normal prose, speakers usually prefer nejosamělější or nejosamotněnější to express the same idea.

Examples:

- Ve filmu se objevuje nejosamotnjí záběr, když hlavní hrdina zůstává sám na opuštěné pláži.

- V básni autor volí nejosamotnjí tón, aby zdůraznil bezútěšnost prostředí.
