nepretvarjam

Nepretvarjam is a Slovenian word that translates to "I am not pretending" or "I do not feign" in English. It is derived from the verb "pretvarjati se," which means "to pretend" or "to feign." The prefix "ne-" negates the verb, resulting in the first-person singular present tense form indicating a lack of pretense.

The word is used to express sincerity, authenticity, and genuineness. When someone states "Nepretvarjam," they are emphasizing that their actions, words, or feelings are not manufactured or put on for show. It signifies an honest and unadulterated state of being. This can apply to various situations, such as expressing emotions, admitting a mistake, or stating an opinion without any ulterior motives.

In Slovenian culture, authenticity is often valued, and "nepretvarjam" can be used as a way to assert one's true self. It implies a rejection of hypocrisy and artificiality. The term is relatively common in everyday conversation and can be used in both informal and formal contexts to convey a straightforward and honest demeanor.
