Názorem

Názorem is a Czech noun in the instrumental singular form of nazor meaning opinion, view, or stance on a matter. In Slovak, the corresponding instrumental form is názorom, but the concept is the same across both languages. The term is widely used in everyday language, journalism, philosophy, and public discourse to describe an individual or group's expressed viewpoint.

Morphology and usage notes: Názor is masculine inanimate. Common forms include nominative názor, genitive názoru, dative názoru, accusative názor, instrumental názorem, and locative názoru (as in o názoru). The instrumental form názorem is used after the preposition s to indicate “with” an opinion, or more broadly to express the means or manner of presenting an argument. For example, S tímto názorem souhlasím means “I agree with this opinion.” The phrase Podle názorů odborníků means “According to the opinions of experts” and uses the genitive plural názorů.

Semantic distinctions: Názor denotes a subjective belief or viewpoint, often reflecting personal or collective reflection. It can be contrasted with stanovisko (an official position) or postoj (an attitude) in contexts requiring a more formal or formalized stance. In media and politics, názor is common in reporting, editorials, and opinion polls, while stanovisko may be used for institutional or organizational positions.
