neposkytujte

Ne poskytnujte is a negative imperative form used in Czech and Slovak to tell someone not to provide or offer something. It is formed by attaching the negation particle ne- to the imperative form of the verb poskytnout (Czech) or poskytovať (Slovak), creating a direct instruction aimed at the second person plural or formal second person (vy).

In usage, nepsokytujte is common in safety guidelines, privacy notices, forms, and user interfaces where it is important to prevent the leakage of information or to avoid actions that could be harmful. The phrase typically appears in contexts such as online forms, customer service instructions, and anti-fraud or phishing warnings. It functions as a concise regulatory or advisory command rather than a conditional statement.

Examples include:

- Neposkytujte hesla třetím stranám. (Do not provide passwords to third parties.)

- Neposkytujte osobní údaje na neověřených stránkách. (Do not provide personal data on unverified sites.)

- Neposkytujte bankovní informace prostřednictvím telefonu od neznámých osob. (Do not provide banking information over the phone to unknown persons.)

Linguistic notes: ne- is a common negation prefix in both Czech and Slovak. The exact imperative form to which ne- attaches can vary by tense and person, but neposkytujte specifically marks a plural or formal instruction in the present.
