úetních

úetních is not a standard Czech term. It is most likely a misspelling of účetních, which is a widely used word in Czech and appears in different grammatical forms. The correct base form is účetní, with diacritics, meaning either “accounting” as an adjective or “accountant/bookkeeper” as a noun.

In Czech, účetní as an adjective describes things related to accounting or bookkeeping, for example účetní doklady (accounting documents) or účetní software (accounting software). As a noun, účetní refers to a person who performs accounting tasks, i.e., a bookkeeper or an accountant. The form účetních occurs as the genitive plural (and other oblique cases) of účetní in these contexts, for instance poža­davky účetních standardů (requirements of accounting standards) or stav účetních záznamů (the state of accounting records).

Etymology traces účetní to the noun účet, meaning account or calculation, with the suffix -ní that forms adjectives and agentive nouns related to a field or activity. The word has a long-standing presence in Central European business and administration vocabulary and is standard in Czech-language accounting and finance terminology.

Usage notes: If you encountered úetních in a text, it is almost certainly a misspelling or typographical error for účetních. Spelling with the háček on the first character is important for correct meaning and pronunciation.
