píklad

Píklad is not a standard lexical item in Czech or Slovak. In most contexts it is encountered as a misspelling or typographical variant of the Czech word příklad, which means “example” or “model.” The correct Czech form uses the character ř and the i with an acute accent, and is written as příklad.

Orthography and usage notes

In Czech orthography, diacritics are phonemic, and words with diacritic changes are treated as distinct from their non-diacritic variants. Píklad does not appear in dictionaries as a separate word and is typically flagged as an orthographic error by spell checkers. The form may arise in texts where diacritics are omitted or incorrectly typed, such as in casual messaging, software interfaces with limited input, or optical character recognition (OCR) failures.

Linguistic context

The standard noun příklad is widely used in education, rhetoric, and everyday language to present a representative case or illustration. It appears in phrases such as “příklad ukazuje…” (“the example shows…”) or “to je příklad správného postupu.” When encountered as píklad, the meaning is usually unintended and the reader is expected to interpret it as the correct form with diacritics.

Other uses

There is no widely recognized semantic meaning for píklad beyond being a nonstandard form of příklad. In some rare cases, capitalized forms could appear as proper names in local toponyms or surnames, but such uses are not common and would be highly context-dependent.
