Aktivnímu

Aktivnímu is a grammatical form of the Czech adjective aktivní, meaning active. It represents the dative singular masculine form, used with masculine singular nouns in the dative case to indicate the recipient, beneficiary, or target of an action, or to attribute the property described by the adjective to that noun in the dative.

In Czech, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. The masculine singular dative form of aktivní is aktivnímu. Examples include phrases like věřím aktivnímu muži (I trust an active man) or požádal jsem aktivnímu učiteli o radu (I asked the active teacher for advice). The form aktivnímu is not used with feminine or neuter nouns; those forms follow the standard declension patterns of the adjective aktivní, with respective endings for gender and number. Plural forms exist for different genders as well.

Usage notes: aktivnímu appears in formal and informal contexts whenever the dative masculine singular is required. It can refer to people, roles, or even metaphorical targets described as active or engaged, such as aktivnímu občanovi (to the active citizen) or aktivnímu týmu (to the active team).

Etymology and status: aktivní derives from Latin activus through the broader European linguistic lineage of the word for “active.” In Czech, it has been part of the standard lexicon since the development of modern adjective declension and is widely used in contemporary text and speech.
