Demokratických

Demokratických is a Czech adjective form meaning "of democratic" or "democratic" in contexts where the noun it modifies is plural and in the genitive case. It is not a separate word on its own but a declined form of demokratický, which comes from demokracie (democracy). In Czech, adjectives agree with their nouns in gender, number and case, and the ending -ických marks the genitive plural. This form occurs before plural nouns in the genitive, for example demokratických zemí (of democratic countries) or demokratických systémů (of democratic systems).

Usage of demokratických is common in political, academic, historical, and journalistic writing, whenever a plural noun is described as being democratic or characterized by democracy within a genitive construction. It can describe a wide range of items—from countries and institutions to principles or reforms—when the sentence requires the genitive plural form.

Examples include:

- počet demokratických zemí (the number of democratic countries)

- demokratických principů (democratic principles)

- reformy demokratických systémů (reforms of democratic systems)

Etymology: demokratických derives from demokratický, which itself is formed with the suffix -ický from demokracie (democracy). The form shown here specifically signals the genitive plural in Czech grammar.
