Levého

Levého is the genitive singular form of the Czech adjective levý, which means left. It is used to denote the left-hand side or left side of something in a setup where the noun it modifies is in the genitive case. As a grammatical inflection, levého appears with masculine and neuter nouns in the genitive singular, while feminine nouns use a different form (levé) in the same position.

In practical use, levého occurs in phrases such as levého oka (of the left eye), levého ramene (of the left shoulder), or levého boku (of the left side). It is common in anatomical descriptions, geographic references, and descriptive language that involves directional or positional information. The form is not a standalone noun; it belongs to the declined set of the base adjective levý.

For comparison, the base form levý is used in the nominative masculine singular (the left), levá for feminine nominative, and levé for neuter nominative. In genitive singular, feminine nouns typically take levé, while masculine and neuter nouns take levého. This pattern reflects standard Czech adjective declension, and levého is one of several inflected forms that communicate left-sidedness within sentences.
