Speciálnímu

Speciálnímu is a grammatical form of the Czech adjective speciální, meaning “special.” In Czech, adjectives decline to agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number and case. The form speciálnímu specifically appears in the dative singular and is used with masculine or neuter nouns when the phrase is in the dative case. It conveys the sense of “to the special …” or “for the special ….”

As a rule, adjectives in the Czech language change their endings to match the noun they describe. The form speciálnímu is therefore chosen when the noun is masculine or neuter and the phrase requires the dative case. This occurs in sentences that express giving, belonging, or other relations governed by dative constructions, often with verbs like dávat (to give) or věnovat (to devote).

Examples:

- Tomu speciálnímu programu věnujeme zvýšenou pozornost. (To that special program we devote increased attention.)

- Potřebujeme zapůjčit to speciálnímu zařízení. (We need to lend to that special device.)

Notes:

- Speciálnímu is not a standalone word beyond its role as a declined adjective form; its meaning arises from the base adjective speciální and the context of the dative construction.

- The feminine and plural forms of the adjective follow their own declension patterns and are not identical to speciálnímu.

In summary, speciálímu is the dative singular form of the adjective speciální, used when modifying masculine or neuter nouns in sentences that require the dative case.
