Plurálního

Plurálního is the genitive singular form of the Czech adjective plurální, meaning "plural." In Czech grammar and linguistics, plurální describes grammatical number that denotes more than one entity, contrasted with singular. The base adjective plurální is used to label forms or features related to plurality, and its inflected forms follow the standard patterns of Czech adjectives.

The form plurálního appears when the adjective modifies a masculine or neuter noun in the genitive singular. For example, plurálního čísla (of the plural number) or plurálního tvaru slova (of the plural form of a word). In other grammatical contexts, different feminine or other case endings may occur, depending on the noun being described.

In linguistic analysis, plurální and its genitive singular form plurálního are used to distinguish plurality from singularity, to classify nouns by number, and to describe how languages mark plurality. The term is often contrasted with singulární.
