Jmenná

Jmenný is a Czech adjective meaning nominal, or name-related. It is formed from the noun jméno (name) with the suffix -ný. In linguistic and grammatical contexts, jmenný describes concepts connected with nouns or noun phrases, as opposed to verbal forms.

In Czech grammar, the term is used to classify forms and elements that belong to nominals rather than to verbs. It appears in expressions such as jmenný tvar (nominal form) and jmenný výraz (nominal expression). Jmenný forms encompass nouns, pronouns, numerals, and other elements treated as non-verbal in grammatical analysis. The term is common in grammar descriptions, textbooks, and dictionaries that distinguish nominal structures from verbal ones.

As a standard Czech adjective, jmenný is declined according to gender, number, and case, following typical patterns for adjectives ending in -ný. Outside linguistic usage, the word mainly functions within grammatical descriptions and educational materials. It does not denote a separate concept beyond its role in describing nominal elements of language.
