nepravdivý

Nepravdivý is a Czech adjective meaning not true, false, or untrue. It is used to describe statements, claims, reports, or information that do not reflect reality or the facts. The term can apply to written or spoken content and is commonly encountered in media, education, and public discourse. The opposite form is pravdivý, meaning true or truthful.

Etymology: nepravdivý is formed from the noun pravda (truth) with the negating prefix ne-. The related noun nepravdivost denotes falsehood or untruthfulness; nepravdivý and nepravdivost appear in analytic contexts.

Usage: In journalism and academia, one might describe a source as nepravdivý if it contains incorrect facts. A statement or report described as nepravdivý signals falsity or lack of evidence. The term does not inherently imply intent to deceive; the focus is on the truth value of the content.
