úzkou

úzkou is a Czech adjective derived from the noun úzkost, meaning anxiety or distress. As an adjective, úzkou typically describes something narrow, tight, or confined, both physically and metaphorically. For instance, a narrow path might be described as úzkou cestou, and a tight situation or a feeling of being constricted could also be referred to using this adjective.

The word's meaning extends beyond mere physical narrowness. It can also describe a limited or restricted scope, such as a narrow viewpoint or a limited opportunity. In a more emotional context, úzkou can relate to feelings of being constrained or overwhelmed, often linked to the aforementioned sense of anxiety. This duality in meaning makes úzkou a versatile word in the Czech language, capable of conveying a range of restrictive or confining sensations. Its usage is common in everyday conversation as well as in more formal or literary contexts.
