Motivaního

Motivaního is a nonstandard Czech term that appears sporadically in informal writing to signify “of motivation” or “motivational.” In standard Czech, the corresponding genitive singular form of the adjective motivační is motivačního, and similar constructions would use motivovaného for the genitive of the participle motivovaný. Motivaního is therefore generally regarded as a phonetic variant or misspelling rather than a recognized word in formal use.

Etymology and form: The base is motivační, derived from motiv- plus the adjectival suffix -ní, with the standard genitive singular ending -ho. The form motivaního deviates from typical Czech inflection and is not described in mainstream grammar references. Some writers encounter it in online posts or casual dialogue, where it may reflect rapid spelling or dialectal influence.

Usage and status: Motivaního is not part of standard dictionaries and is rarely found in scholarly or official texts. When encountered, it is usually interpreted as a nonstandard or colloquial variant of motivačního. Editors and editors-in-chief across Czech publishing typically correct it to motivačního in formal passages. In discussions of motivation theory or management, authors prefer motivačního or motivovaného to maintain linguistic precision.

Notes: For clarity and accuracy, writers aiming at formal Czech should use motivačního to express a genitive relation related to motivation, rather than motivaního.
