Neformálními

Neformálními is a Czech grammatical form: it is the instrumental plural form of the adjective neformální, meaning informal. It is used to describe plural nouns in the instrumental case, indicating that something is informal in manner, setting, or relationship.

In practice, neformálními is attached to a plural noun in instrumental construction, often after prepositions that require the instrumental case, such as s or bez, or in impersonal constructions with lze or pracuje. For example: S neformálními lidmi se lépe diskutuje. S neformálními pravidly projektu se pracuje volněji. These phrases show how the adjective agrees with a plural noun and follows standard Czech adjective declension patterns in the instrumental plural.

Usage notes and context: neformálními is common in everyday speech as well as in writing, especially when distinguishing between informal and formal contexts, relationships, or procedures. It contrasts with formálními (instrumental plural of formální) and with nouns used in other cases or numbers. The base adjective neformální can form comparatives and adverbial expressions similarly to other Czech adjectives.

Related terms include formální (formal) and neformálnost (informality) as a noun, which helps describe the broader concept of informality. Overall, neformálními serves as the appropriate instrumental plural form when the modified noun is plural and in that case is used to convey informality in description or instruction.
