nápaditým

Nápaditým is a form of the Czech adjective nápaditý, which means inventive, imaginative, or resourceful. It is the instrumental singular masculine form and is used with masculine nouns in the instrumental case, for example in phrases like nápaditým řešením or nápaditým způsobem. In other grammatical contexts, the adjective appears in different endings (nápaditý, nápaditá, nápadité, nápaditého, etc.).

The base adjective nápaditý derives from nápad (idea) with the suffix -itý, signaling that something is characterized by ideas or novelty. Related nouns include nápaditost (ingenuity, inventiveness) and the adverb nápaditě (in an inventive or imaginative manner). The word commonly occurs in formal, descriptive, or evaluative prose—such as criticism, design, or marketing—where positive appraisal of ideas or solutions is intended.

Usage notes: nápaditým describes people, methods, objects, or approaches when they demonstrate originality or cleverness. It is generally a positive descriptor, though in some contexts it can carry a hint of irony if used to highlight supposed cleverness that may be overestimated. Its application is flexible across domains like technology, art, pedagogy, and communications.

Examples:

- nápaditým řešením (an inventive solution)

- nápaditým způsobem (in an imaginative way)

- Je nápaditým člověkem. (He is an inventive person.)
