Latinskými

Latinskými is the instrumental plural form of the Czech adjective latinský, meaning “Latin.” It is used to describe nouns when they are in the instrumental case and commonly refers to things related to the Latin language, Latin script, or Latin origins. In other words, latinskými indicates the means or manner associated with Latin.

Common contexts for the word include phrases such as latinskými písmeny, meaning “with Latin letters,” or latinskými slovy, meaning “in Latin words.” These expressions are typical in discussions about orthography, transcription, or translation, where the writing system or style is described as using Latin characters or Latin phrasing. The form can also modify other masculine or mixed-gender nouns in the instrumental plural, for example latinskými názvy (with Latin names) or latinskými zdroji (from Latin sources), though usage depends on the surrounding syntactic structure.

In Czech grammar, latinskými is one of several instrumental plural adjectives ending in -ými, reflecting the agreement with plural masculine or mixed nouns. The instrumental case communicates means, manner, or source in a sentence, rather than indicating a subject or direct object.

Usage across related languages or historical texts may show similar forms, reflecting shared Slavic grammar. While latinskými appears most often in linguistic or philological writing, it can also appear in broader discussions about scripts, languages, or scholarly translations.
