spoahlivá

Spoahlivý is not a standard Czech word. It is typically a misspelling or nonstandard variant of the adjective spolehlivý, which means reliable, dependable, or trustworthy. The correct form in standard Czech is spolehlivý and is used to describe people, objects, systems, or information that can be relied upon.

The standard term spolehlivý stems from the Czech noun spolehlivost (reliability) and the related verb spolehnout se (to rely on). It conveys a sense of consistency and trust in performance over time. In usage, spolehlivý can describe a person (spolehlivý svědek – a reliable witness), a worker or colleague (spolehlivý zaměstnanec), or non-human entities such as a system or data (spolehlivý systém, spolehlivá data).

In Czech, there are related nuances with similar adjectives. Důvěryhodný is often used to emphasize credibility, especially regarding information or testimony, and can overlap with spolehlivý in everyday language. However, spolehlivý tends to focus more on dependability and tested performance rather than perceived believability.

Orthographic notes: spoahlivý may appear in casual writing or among learners as a typographical error. In formal writing and dictionaries, the canonical form spolehlivý (and its derivatives) is preferred. Related forms include spolehlivost (noun) and spolehlivostní (relating to reliability).
