pekného

Pekného is a Slovak word that translates to "beautiful" or "handsome" in English. It is an adjective used to describe a person, place, or thing that possesses aesthetically pleasing qualities. The word can be used in various contexts, from describing a lovely landscape to complimenting someone's appearance.

As a descriptive adjective, pekného can be applied to a wide range of subjects. For instance, one might describe a "pekné počasie" (beautiful weather), a "pekný dom" (beautiful house), or a "pekná pieseň" (beautiful song). When referring to people, it typically denotes attractiveness or good looks. A "pekný muž" would be a handsome man, and a "pekná žena" would be a beautiful woman.

The word pekného is derived from the Proto-Slavic root *peknъ, which also has cognates in other Slavic languages. Its usage is widespread throughout Slovakia and among Slovak speakers. While it is a common and versatile word, it generally implies a positive and pleasing aesthetic. More intense or specific descriptors might be used for profound beauty or striking handsomeness, but pekného serves as a standard and widely understood term for general attractiveness and pleasantness.
