nekontrolované

Nekontrolované is a Czech adjective meaning not controlled or unchecked. It is formed with the prefix ne- added to kontrolovaný, from the verb kontrolovat (to control). The term is used to describe processes, systems, or data that lack supervision, regulation, or constraints, and it often conveys a sense of risk or hazard. It can modify nouns in different grammatical genders and numbers, following standard Czech adjective declension.

Common contexts include public health and safety (nekontrolované šíření nákazy, nekontrolované vypouštění nebezpečných látek), environment and ecology (nekontrolované emise, nekontrolované využívání zdrojů), demography (nekontrolovaný růst populace) and information technology or data security (nekontrolované vstupy, nekontrolované uživatelské chování). In journalism and policy debates, the term signals a lack of oversight or governance.

In grammar, nekontrolované can appear both predicatively and attributively, and it generally agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number, as is typical for Czech adjectives. The term carries a neutral core meaning, but its use tends to carry negative connotations because it points to missing control or supervision. Related terms include kontrolovaný (controlled), řízený (managed), and neřízený (uncontrolled in the sense of not directed).

The concept of nekontrolované appears across disciplines, often in discussions of risk assessment, regulation, and safety. Its precise interpretation depends on the domain, but the overarching idea remains: something that is not monitored, constrained, or guided by deliberate control mechanisms.
