závislých

"Závislých" is the plural form of the Slovak word "závislý," which translates to "dependent" or "addicted" in English. The term can be used in various contexts, encompassing both literal and figurative meanings.

In a literal sense, "závislých" refers to individuals who are dependent on something or someone for their survival, well-being, or functioning. This could include economic dependence, where a person relies on another for financial support, or physical dependence, such as a child dependent on their parents.

More commonly, "závislých" is used to describe people suffering from addiction. This refers to a state of compulsive engagement with a substance or activity, despite harmful consequences. Addictions can be to drugs, alcohol, gambling, or even certain behaviors. Individuals in this state are characterized by a loss of control and a persistent craving. The term highlights the state of being under the influence or control of the addictive substance or behavior.

Figuratively, "závislých" can describe situations where one entity or concept is reliant on another for its existence or success. For example, a smaller economy might be described as "závislých" on a larger trading partner. The concept emphasizes a relationship of mutual or one-sided reliance.
