neobchodní

Neobchodní is a Czech adjective meaning not related to commerce or business. It is formed with the negating prefix ne- attached to obchodní, which means commercial or pertaining to trade. The term is used to distinguish activities, purposes, or characteristics that are not conducted for profit or outside of a business operation.

In usage, neobchodní largely appears in legal, administrative, or technical contexts. In everyday language, speakers more often use nekomerční to express non-commercial intent. Neobchodní emphasizes that something is outside the scope of business activities or market transactions, rather than simply being non-profit or non-profitable.

Common collocations include neobchodní činnost (non-commercial activity), neobchodní účely (non-commercial purposes), neobchodní využití (non-commercial use), and neobchodní vztahy (non-business relationships). These phrases commonly appear in policy documents, regulatory provisions, or descriptions of programs and projects that are not run for commercial gain.

Etymology: neobchodní derives from obchodní (commercial) with the prefix ne- to negate its meaning. The construction mirrors other negated adjectives in Czech, where the prefix clearly signals the absence of a business or trade-related aspect.
