Rare enough to double-check
naivní is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed [ˈnajɪvɲiː]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "einfach überlegend wegen mangelnder Erfahrung und/oder Sachkenntnis; naiv".
naivní doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable German rules. Our dataset records no confusable match here, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is naivní, spelled N-A-I-V-N-Í.

Opusťme naivní představu o podnikatelích, kteří se mají mnohem lépe než zaměstnanci. Mají často nulové zisky, pracují tvrdě a jejich životní úroveň je srovnatelná s průměrně nebo i hůře placeným zaměstnancem.
