nepítelnýnepitný

Nepítelný is a Czech word that translates to "undrinkable" in English. It is used to describe something that is not suitable for drinking, typically due to its taste, smell, or composition. This can include water that is contaminated, excessively salty, or has an unpleasant odor. It can also refer to beverages that have spoiled or are otherwise not palatable.

The term "nepítelný" can be applied in various contexts. For instance, a natural water source might be declared nepítelný if it contains harmful bacteria or pollutants. Similarly, a batch of homemade wine or beer could be deemed nepítelný if it has fermented incorrectly or developed an undesirable flavor. In a more figurative sense, the word might be used to describe a situation or experience that is extremely unpleasant, though this is less common.

The opposite of nepítelný is "pítelný," meaning "drinkable." This distinction is important for public health and safety, as it clearly defines what liquids are safe for human consumption. When a water supply or a particular beverage is labeled as nepítelný, it serves as a warning to avoid ingesting it.
