뜻
Admitting lack of information.
문화적 배경
Czechs are known for being direct. Saying 'To nevím' is not seen as a failure, but as an honest assessment of the situation. In Czech academia, 'nevím' is the start of a hypothesis. It is respected more than a 'guessed' answer. When you don't know something, it's common to follow up with a suggestion of who might know. On social media, 'idk' is often replaced by 'nv' or simply 'netuším' for more emphasis on the 'cluelessness'.
The Shrug
Pair 'To nevím' with a small shoulder shrug for maximum native-like effect.
Don't over-negate
One 'ne-' is enough. Don't say 'To ne nevím'.

The 'To' is key
Including 'To' makes you sound much more natural than just saying 'Nevím'.
Honesty over guessing
It's better to say 'To nevím' than to give wrong directions in Czechia.
