nepoitatelný

Nepoitatelná is a Slovak term that translates to "uncountable" or "innumerable" in English. It is primarily used in the context of quantities that are too large or too numerous to be precisely counted. This can apply to abstract concepts like problems or opportunities, as well as physical items. For instance, one might say there are "nepoitatelná hviezd" meaning innumerable stars in the sky.

The word is derived from the Slovak verb "počítať," meaning to count, with the prefixes "ne-" (not) and "-itelná" (able to be). Therefore, its literal meaning is "not able to be counted." The term is often used for emphasis, highlighting the sheer magnitude of something. It conveys a sense of wonder, overwhelm, or the impossibility of exact enumeration.

In everyday conversation, "nepoitatelná" serves as a common expression to describe situations where precise quantification is impractical or unnecessary. It is a versatile adjective that can be applied across various domains, from the vastness of the universe to the multitude of daily tasks. The concept it represents is universal, though the specific linguistic expression is unique to the Slovak language.
