nepoitelný

Nepoitelný is not a standard Czech term found in mainstream dictionaries. In standard Czech orthography, the negation of the adjective počitatelný (countable) is usually nepočitatelný or, in some senses, nepočetný. The form nepoitelný appears to be a nonstandard spelling, a typographical error, or a rare dialectal variant rather than an established word with a fixed meaning.

Etymology and forms: The word would seemingly be built from prefix ne- plus a non-attested stem poitelný. The correct and widely used Czech equivalents for “uncountable” are nepočitatelný (countable vs. uncountable in mathematical or linguistic contexts) or nepočetný (archaic or less common in some uses). Because nepoitelný lacks official status, its meaning is derived from context and is not standardized.

Usage and meaning: In formal Czech, one should use nepočitatelný or nepočitatelné, depending on gender and number. In mathematics or linguistics, nepočitatelné množiny (uncountable sets) or nepočitatelná veličina (an uncountable quantity) are common phrases. If nepoitelný appears in a text, it is advisable to correct it to nepočitatelný to avoid ambiguity.

See also: počitatelný, nepočitatelný, nepočetný, uncountable (in cross-language discussions).

Notes: As a nonstandard form, nepoitelný may occur as a misspelling in informal writing or outdated sources. For clear communication, standard Czech terms should be preferred.
