nepriechodná

Nepriechodné is a Slovak term that translates to "impassable," "impenetrable," or "unnavigable" in English. It describes a state where something cannot be passed through, traversed, or penetrated. This can apply to various contexts, both physical and abstract.

In a physical sense, nepriechodné can refer to a road blocked by obstacles like fallen trees or snow, making it impossible for vehicles to pass. A dense forest or thick undergrowth might also be described as nepriechodné, preventing movement on foot. Similarly, a body of water could be nepriechodné due to strong currents, ice, or debris. A wall or a tightly sealed container might be considered nepriechodné in terms of being impenetrable.

Beyond the physical, the term can be used metaphorically. A situation could be described as nepriechodné if it presents insurmountable difficulties or a dead end. An argument might be considered nepriechodné if its logic is flawed and cannot be understood or accepted. In a medical context, a blocked passage in the body, such as a nepriechodné črevo (intestinal obstruction), would render that part of the digestive system impassable. The core meaning remains consistent: a lack of passage or permeability.
