Slabích

Slabích is a form that may appear in Czech-language texts as a genitive plural ending associated with the adjective slabý, meaning weak. In standard modern Czech, the genitive plural of slabý is slabých, not slabích. Because of this, slabích is usually treated as a misspelling or nonstandard variant rather than a distinct grammatical form.

Usage and examples

In correct Czech, you would use slabých with nouns in genitive plural: slabých míst (weak spots), slabých argumentů (weak arguments), slabých lidí (of weak people). The form slabích is not typically accepted in formal writing and is more likely to be found as a typographical error or in dialectal or historical texts.

Origin and related forms

Slabý derives from Proto-Slavic *slabъ and is connected to a family of words such as slabost (weakness) and slabina (weak point). The standard comparative is slabší, and the superlative is nejslabší or nejslabší, depending on construction. The conventional spelling in genitive plural remains slabých.

Notes

When encountering slabích, readers should consider whether the text might contain a spelling error or an archaic/dialectal variant. If clarity is required, replace slabích with slabých to conform with contemporary Czech orthography.
