správný

Správné is the neuter singular form of the Czech adjective správný, meaning correct, proper, or appropriate. It is used to describe neuter nouns or to function as a predicate after the copula with neuter pronouns such as to: To je správné.

Etymology and related forms: The word derives from the Proto-Slavic root *pravъ, related to Czech pravda (truth) and pravý (right). The semantic core concerns what is true, right, or proper.

Morphology and usage: Správný is declined like other Czech adjectives. Masculine singular is správný, feminine singular is správná, neuter singular is správné. In other cases, the endings follow standard adjective patterns. Správné usually accompanies neuter nouns, as in správné řešení (the correct solution) or after a linking verb with a neuter subject, as in To je správné (That is correct).

Common distinctions within usage: Správné describes conformity to a standard, rule, fact, or reality. The adverb form sprá vně is správně and is used for actions rather than things, as in Dělej to správně (Do it correctly). Správnost is the corresponding noun meaning correctness or propriety, while spravedlivost or přesnost may serve as related terms in certain contexts.

Notes: Správné can appear in technical, educational, or everyday language when specifying the correctness of a statement, decision, or result. Learners should distinguish správné (neuter adjective) from správně (adverb) and from other related terms such as správnost (noun).
