Rostoucímu

Rostoucímu is the dative singular form of the Czech adjective and present participle rostoucí, meaning growing or in the process of growing. It is used to modify a masculine or neuter noun in the dative case, for example rostoucímu stromu (to the growing tree) and rostoucímu dítěti (to the growing child). The form reflects standard Czech agreement in the dative singular: rostoucímu attaches to the noun it describes and agrees in gender and number.

The stem of rostoucí is rost- with the participial ending -ouc- and the dative singular ending -ímu, yielding rostoucímu. The corresponding nominative singular form is rostoucí, and the instrumental singular is rostoucím, illustrating the regular inflection pattern of this adjective/participle. Rostoucí derives from the verb růst, meaning to grow, and is used to indicate something that is increasing in size, age, or extent.

In usage, rostoucí appears in both everyday and formal Czech when describing ongoing growth. It can describe physical growth, as in rostoucí strom, or figurative growth, such as rostoucí počet, rostoucí situace, or rostoucí trendy. Rostoucímu, along with other inflected forms like rostoucího or rostoucím, participates in the broader system of Czech adjective and participle agreement, ensuring clear reference to the noun it modifies in different grammatical cases.
