Tiskem

Tiskem is the instrumental singular form of the Czech noun tisk, which means printing or the act of printing. As a grammatical form, tiskem denotes the means or method by which something is produced, most often in contexts related to producing text, images, or documents by printing rather than by hand.

In practice, tiskem appears in phrases that indicate the method used to create an item. For example, a document might be described as vyhotoveno tiskem, meaning it was produced by printing. The form is part of standard Czech grammar and is used when naming the instrument or means by which an action is carried out. It is commonly found in technical, publishing, administrative, and archival language, where the method of production needs to be specified.

Etymology and origins: tisk is a native Czech word for printing and has cognates in other Slavic languages. The precise historical development of the term is a subject of linguistic discussion, with some theories noting possible influence or borrowing from Germanic languages in historical periods of printing technology.

Beyond its role as a grammatical form, tiskem is not widely treated as a separate concept in everyday conversation. It primarily appears in formal or descriptive writing to indicate that something was produced through printing.
