Samostatného

Samostatného is a form of the Czech adjective samostatný, which means independent, autonomous, or self-reliant. It is used to modify nouns to express independence or lack of dependence in a given context. As a grammatical inflection, samostatného signals a specific case and gender, most commonly genitive singular, and in some contexts also the accusative singular of masculine animate nouns.

Morphology and usage: Samostatného is the genitive singular form of samostatný for masculine and neuter nouns. In addition, for masculine animate nouns, it also appears in the accusative singular, since Czech distinguishes the accusative for animate nouns in this form. The feminine singular genitive of samostatný is samostatné, while the nominative forms are samostatný (masculine), samostatná (feminine), and samostatné (neuter).

Examples: Viděl samostatného studenta. This sentence shows samostatného used with a masculine animate noun in the accusative singular, meaning “He saw an independent student.” Another context is a noun phrase like projekt vyžadující samostatného přístupu, where samostatného modifies a masculine or neuter noun in genitive singular.

Notes: Samostatného is an inflected form, not a standalone lexeme; the base entry remains samostatný. Its precise form depends on the gender, animacy of the noun, and the syntactic case required by the sentence. Related forms include samostatný (dictionary form), samostatnost (independence), and samostatná (feminine nominative, or other feminine/genitive forms).
