nerovnomerný

The term *nerovnomerný* is a Czech adjective meaning "uneven" or "irregular." It describes something that lacks uniformity, consistency, or regularity in its shape, distribution, or occurrence. The word is derived from the Czech root *rovný*, which means "even" or "level," with the prefix *ne-* indicating negation.

In everyday language, *nerovnomerný* can be used to describe physical objects, such as surfaces that are not smooth or terrain that is uneven. For example, a *nerovnomerný povrch* (uneven surface) might be rough or jagged rather than flat. The term can also apply to abstract concepts, such as distribution—*nerovnomerné rozdělení* (uneven distribution) refers to an imbalance, such as unequal wealth or population density.

In mathematics and physics, *nerovnomerný* is often used to describe non-uniformity in variables, such as velocity (*nerovnomerný pohyb*—uneven motion) or density (*nerovnomerná hustota*—uneven density). This contrasts with *rovnomerný* (uniform or even), which implies consistency.

The term appears in various technical and scientific contexts, including geography, where *nerovnomerný terén* (uneven terrain) describes landscapes with varying elevations. It can also be found in discussions about economic or social inequality, where *nerovnomerný rozvoj* (uneven development) refers to disparities in growth or progress.

In literature and everyday speech, *nerovnomerný* can convey a sense of irregularity or unpredictability, often used metaphorically to describe patterns, rhythms, or behaviors that are inconsistent. The opposite of *nerovnomerný* is *rovnomerný*, emphasizing uniformity and regularity.
