Teplých

Teplých is a grammatical form in the Czech language. It is the genitive plural (and also the locative plural in certain phrases) of the adjective teplý, which means warm or hot. In Czech, adjectives decline to agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number and case, and endings change accordingly. The ending -ých is typical for the genitive plural of hard-stem adjectives like teplý, and it also appears in the locative plural after prepositions.

Usage of teplých appears in phrases describing temperature, weather, or warmth of objects. Examples include teplých dní (warm days) or v teplých místnostech (in warm rooms). The form can be found in formal or literary contexts as well, depending on the noun it modifies and the required case.

Semantically teplý has two main senses: physically warm (temperature) and figurative warmth (kind, friendly). The adjective forms a full comparative and superlative: teplejší and nejteplejší. Related nouns include teplo, meaning warmth or heat. The development of teplý can be traced to the Czech term teplo and to Proto-Slavic roots associated with heating and warmth, with cognates in other Slavic languages.
