nesprávný

Nesprávné is a Czech adjective meaning “incorrect,” “wrong,” or “mistaken.” It is formed by adding the negative prefix ne‑ to the adjective správný, which itself derives from the root “right” or “correct.” The word can appear in all grammatical forms required by Czech gender and number. In its masculine singular nominative form it is spelt nesprávný, in the feminine singular nesprávná, in the neuter singular nesprávné, and in the plural forms nesprávní (masculine) or nesprávné (feminine). The adverb nesprávně means “incorrectly.”

In Czech, nesprávné functions both attributively and predicatively. Attributively it modifies a noun, as in nesprávná odpověď (incorrect answer) or nesprávný výpočet (wrong calculation). Predicatively it is linked to the verb být, for example To je nesprávné (That is wrong). The term is used across a wide range of contexts: everyday language (nesprávné chování), education (nesprávná úloha), legal writing (nesprávné údaje, erroneous information), and scientific discussion (nesprávné závěry, incorrect conclusions).

Synonyms include chybný, mylný, and nevhodný, though nesprávné often emphasizes a lack of compliance with established rules rather than a moral or ethical judgment. The word appears in formal and informal registers; however, in very formal contexts the adjective nepřesný may be preferred to stress factual inaccuracy rather than a procedural mistake.

Overall, nesprávné is a standard Czech expression for denoting error, mistake, or deviation from correctness, and its various inflected forms enable precise grammatical agreement within sentences.
