subjektivní

Subjektivní is a Czech adjective meaning relating to subjectivity or to personal perspective. It describes judgments, opinions, or perceptions that stem from the speaker’s own feelings, experiences, or biases rather than external facts. In contrast to objektivní (objective), subjektivní emphasizes the role of the observer in shaping meaning.

The term derives from Latin subjectivus, through Czech morphological development. Related forms include subjektivita (subjectivity), subjektivismus (subjectivism), and the adverb subjektivně. The common antonym is objektivní, with objectivity also expressed by the noun objektivita.

Usage spans philosophy, psychology, aesthetics, journalism, and everyday language. Subjektivní is used to mark statements that depend on personal point of view. Examples: subjektivní názor (a subjective opinion), subjektivní hodnocení (subjective assessment). It can appear with various nouns to indicate a bias or personal slant, such as subjektivní pohled, subjektivní postoj, or subjektivní přesvědčení.

Grammatically, subjektivní is a standard Czech adjective and agrees with gender and number of the noun it modifies. Examples: subjektivní přístup (masculine), subjektivní stránka (feminine), subjektivní názory (plural).

In analysis and discourse, subjectivity is acknowledged as inherent in human judgment, though scientific and policy contexts strive to minimize it through explicit methodologies, data, and verification. The term subjektivní remains neutral and descriptive, used to distinguish personal perspective from objectively verifiable facts.
