Fickovými

Fickovými is the instrumental plural form of the Czech surname Fickovi, used when referring to the Fick family in contexts that require the instrumental case. In Czech, surnames that denote a family are declined like adjectives, and the masculine plural nominative is typically Fickovi. The instrumental plural then becomes Fickovými, while other cases derive from the same base: genitive Fickových, dative Fickovým, locative Fickových. The nominative and accusative forms are Fickovi, and the vocative is usually identical to the nominative in practice.

Usage of Fickovými occurs in sentences that describe actions involving the family or with the family as an instrument or partner in an action. For example, one might write, “setkali jsme se s Fickovými,” meaning “we met with the Ficks.” The form is used after prepositions that govern the instrumental case, such as s (with) or in contexts where the family is the entity performing or receiving an action.

Etymologically, Fickovi is a Czech-language family name formed by adding the typical plural -ovi suffix to the base surname Fick, signaling a family group. This pattern is common in Czech surnames and reflects historical practices of naming that identify a family as a unit. The form Fickovými, as instrumental plural, is an ordinary grammatical variant within standard Czech morphology and does not imply any specific meaning beyond the grammatical role.

In summary, Fickovými is the instrumental plural variant used to refer to the Fick family in Czech, with related forms Fickovi (nominative/accusative), Fickových (genitive/locative), and Fickovým (dative).
