Koním

Koním is a Czech grammatical form of the masculine noun kůň, which means horse. It is the dative plural form, used to express the indirect object “to the horses” or “for the horses.” Because it is a case form, koním is not a standalone lexical item but a word form that appears in sentences where the horses are the recipient or beneficiary of an action.

In typical usage, koním follows verbs that take a dative object, such as dát (to give), poslat (to send), or věnovat (to dedicate). It also occurs in phrases describing ownership, belonging, or association with horses, for example patří koním (belongs to the horses) or dám koním krmivo (I will give feed to the horses).

Morphology and related forms: koním is derived from the stem kon- with the dative plural ending -ím. Related forms include koně (nominative plural), koní (genitive singular), and koním (dative plural). This pattern is part of standard Czech noun declension for masculine animate nouns and is regularly encountered in everyday language, literature, and formal writing.
