something that is non-soluble in whatever solvent youre using

the solvent is what is doing the dissolving, while the solute is the thing being dissolved

for example: a mixture of water and salt. water is the solvent and salt is the solute.

but to answer your question in more depth, the solubility of something is determined by its polarity compared to the polarity of the solvent

water is polar, so polar molecules dissolve readily in water

if the substance is known to be nonpolar, then it wont dissolve in water

(im just assuming your solvent is water. if you want a more specific example, you should check the polarity of your solvent and solute.)
