Obrazném

Obrazném is a form of the Czech adjective obrazný, which means graphic, vivid, or figurative. The word is most often encountered in its locative singular masculine form, used after prepositions to indicate a figurative sense or style. The corresponding instrumental form, obrazným, is used to describe the manner in which something is conveyed or presented in a non-literal way.

In practice, obrazném appears in phrases such as v obrazném smyslu (in the figurative sense) and platí v obrazném smyslu for describing figurative usage. It is also found in constructions like obrazným způsobem (in a figurative or graphic manner) or obrazným jazykem (using figurative language). These forms reflect the adjective’s root, obraz-, from obraz (image, picture), and the typical -ný adjective endings that govern Czech declension.

Etymology and usage notes: obrazný derives from obraz, the noun for image or picture, with the suffix -ný to form an adjective meaning “characterized by or relating to images.” The locative form obrazném is a standard grammatical variant used with prepositions to express the figurative or illustrative sense. Because Czech adjectives decline by gender, number, and case, other forms of obrazný appear in different contexts (e.g., obrazný, obrazná, obrazné).
