معنی
Dismissing something as untrue
زمینه فرهنگی
Czechs pride themselves on being 'realists' and are often cynical about grand promises. Calling something 'kecy' is a sign of this cultural pragmatism. In a Czech 'hospoda', 'kecání' is the main activity. 'Kecy' here can be friendly banter or serious debate. On Czech social media, 'kecy' is frequently used in comments to debunk fake news or clickbait. While younger people use 'kecy' freely, older generations might find it slightly 'pavlačové' (low-class/gossipy) if used too much.
The 'Nekecej' Surprise
Use 'Nekecej!' with a rising intonation to show you are pleasantly surprised, like 'No way!' in English.
Watch the Register
Never use this word in a job interview, even if the interviewer seems cool. It's too informal.
