nepoádku

Nepoádku is not the standard spelling in Czech; the correct form is nepořádek, a masculine noun meaning a state of untidiness, mess, or disorder. It can refer to a physical clutter in a space as well as to a figurative sense of chaos in a situation, process, or system.

Etymologically, nepořádek is formed from the root pořádek (order) with the prefix ne- indicating negation. The standard inflected forms are nepořádek (nominative), genitive nepořádku, dative nepořádku, accusative nepořádek, locative nepořádku, and so on. The word is common in spoken Czech and in written texts ranging from journalism to literature.

Usage notes: In everyday language, nepořádek is used to describe both tangible clutter and abstract disarray. Typical phrases include v nepořádku (in a mess), udělat nepořádek (to make a mess), and uklidit nepořádek (to tidy up the mess). Related terms include pořádek (order) as the positive counterpart and chaos as a more dramatic synonym. The expression is neutral and descriptive, not inherently pejorative, though it can reflect a critique of cleanliness, organization, or management.

Orthography: The form nepořádek is the normative spelling. The appearance nepoádku is generally treated as a misspelling or typographical error, resulting from misplacing diacritics or keyboard mistakes. In dictionaries and standard usage, nepořádek is preferred.
