ovocná

Ovocný is a Czech adjective meaning "fruity" or "fruit-bearing." It is derived from the Czech word "ovoce," which translates to "fruit." The adjective ovocný is used to describe things that are related to or possess the characteristics of fruit.

In culinary contexts, ovocný often appears in descriptions of food and beverages. For example, a fruit salad would be referred to as ovocný salát. Similarly, fruit juice is ovocný džus, and fruit jam is ovocný džem. It can also describe flavors, such as ovocná příchuť, meaning a fruity flavor.

Beyond food, the term ovocný can be used in a broader sense. It might describe a landscape that is rich in fruit trees, such as an ovocný sad, meaning an orchard. In some contexts, it could even refer to something that is symbolically abundant or fruitful, although this is less common than its literal meaning. The word is a common part of everyday Czech vocabulary, particularly when discussing food, agriculture, and nature.
