Týkajícího

Týkajícího is a form of the Czech present active participle from the verb týkat se, meaning to concern or relate to. It functions as an attributive modifier that signals that the noun it accompanies is connected with a referenced matter. The participle is declined like an adjective and agrees with the noun in gender, number, and case. The genitive singular masculine form of the participle is týkajícího, which appears in contexts where the participle itself is declined to match a head noun in a dependent construction or where a reduced relative clause requires that form.

The most common construction is the fixed phrase týkající se, equivalent to “concerning” or “relating to.” In this use, the noun that follows is complemented by the rest of the clause introduced by se. For example: Zpráva týkající se projektu (a report concerning the project) or Náměty týkajícího se bezpečnosti (comments concerning safety). These phrases are frequent in formal writing, including official reports, legal documents, and administrative texts.

In terms of style, týkajícího je forms are typical of careful, precise Czech and may appear in legal, corporate, or academic prose. In everyday language, speakers sometimes opt for simpler constructions such as referencing with že or o + dative/accusative phrases instead of a heavy relative clause. The word provides a concise way to indicate relevance or scope of the matter being discussed.
