Perfektním

Perfektním is the instrumental singular form of the Czech adjective perfektní, meaning "perfect." It is used to describe a masculine or neuter noun in the instrumental case, or to express the manner in which an action is performed.

In Czech, adjectives agree with nouns in gender, number, and case. The instrumental singular form for masculine and neuter nouns is perfektním. The feminine instrumental form is different and follows a separate declension pattern. The form perfektním is also used in common phrases such as perfektním způsobem, meaning “in a perfect (or excellent) way.”

Examples include: udělal to perfektním způsobem (he did it in a perfect/excellent manner) and výsledek byl dosažen perfektním výkonem (the result was achieved with a perfect/excellent performance). In everyday speech, perfektní is frequently used to mean “great” or “excellent,” sometimes more loosely than the literal sense of perfect.

Etymology traces perfektní to the Latin word perfectus, passing into Czech through German, where the form or its root became part of the standard Czech adjective. The instrumental form perfektním is a regular inflected form used in formal and descriptive contexts to indicate the manner or quality of an action or result. Related terms include the base adjective perfektní and the noun perfektnost, which denotes perfection.
