uplný

Uplný is the non-diacritic variant of the standard Czech and Slovak adjective úplný, meaning complete, entire, or absolute. It functions as an attributive adjective that describes the degree or scope of a noun, signaling that nothing is missing or incomplete.

In usage, úplný conveys totality or thoroughness. It can modify a wide range of nouns, such as úplný obraz (complete picture), úplná pravda (the whole truth), or úplný zákaz (a total ban). The sense is closer to completely or utter, rather than merely full; the Czech word for the plain sense of “full” is plný. The adverbial forms are úplně in Czech and úplne in Slovak. The corresponding abstract nouns are úplnost in Czech and úplnosť in Slovak.

Orthography and variants: in texts that omit diacritics, the word may appear as uplný, but in standard Czech and Slovak spelling the diacritic is required. Diacritics help distinguish úplný from other similarly spelled forms and influence pronunciation and meaning in related words.

Etymology and related terms: úplný derives from a Slavic root related to fullness, often analyzed with a prefix that intensifies the sense of completeness. Related forms include úplně (adverb), úprava and plný (full) as a contrastive base, and the nouns úplnost (Czech) and úplnosť (Slovak) referring to completeness or totality.
