Souvislém

Souvislém is the locative singular form of the Czech adjective souvislý, meaning continuous, coherent, or connected. It is used to describe something that has continuity or unity, such as a text, argument, or timeline. In Czech grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. The form souvislém is masculine singular and locative; the corresponding instrumental singular is souvislým, while feminine and neuter forms use different endings.

The locative case is used with certain prepositions to indicate location or state, often in written or formal Czech. Therefore, souvislém is most commonly found in contexts such as ve souvislém textu meaning “in a coherent text” or v souvislém vyprávění meaning “in a continuous narrative.” The sense is to emphasize overall coherence and unity rather than a mere collection of parts.

Compared with the base form souvislý, souvislém does not change the fundamental meaning but marks the grammatical case required by the sentence. Outside of formal or literary prose, the use of this exact form is less frequent; speakers may choose more common phrasing or synonyms depending on style.
