nelákavý

Nelákavé is a Czech adjective that translates to "unattractive," "unappealing," or "uninviting" in English. It is used to describe something that lacks charm, appeal, or desirability. The term can be applied to a wide range of subjects, from physical objects and places to abstract concepts and experiences.

When describing a person, nelákavé suggests a lack of physical attractiveness or a generally unpleasing demeanor. For example, one might say "Jeho vzhled byl nelákavý" (His appearance was unattractive). In the context of places, it can refer to a location that is run-down, unpleasant, or simply not visually appealing. A restaurant might be described as nelákavý if its decor is drab or its general atmosphere is uninviting.

The adjective can also be used metaphorically. An offer or proposal could be considered nelákavý if it is not advantageous or tempting. Similarly, a job might be described as nelákavý if it offers low pay, poor working conditions, or lacks opportunities for advancement. The core meaning remains consistent: a deficiency in qualities that would typically attract or interest someone. The opposite of nelákavé is often lákavý, meaning attractive or appealing.
