sarkastická
Sarkastická is a Slovak adjective meaning sarcastic. It describes a form of verbal irony, where the speaker says the opposite of what they mean, often with the intent to mock or convey contempt. Sarcasm is typically characterized by its tone of voice, facial expressions, and context, which signal the speaker's true intentions to the listener. It can be used humorously, but also as a way to criticize or express displeasure indirectly. The effectiveness of sarcasm relies heavily on the audience's ability to understand the underlying meaning and the shared understanding of the situation. While often perceived as witty or clever, sarcasm can also be hurtful or alienating if not used appropriately or if the target does not grasp its nuance.

It is a complex linguistic tool that requires careful consideration of both the words used and the manner in which they are delivered.
