Travní

Travní is a Czech adjective meaning grass-related or grassy. It is derived from tráva, the noun for grass, with the adjectival suffix -ní. The form travní is typically used to create compound nouns and noun phrases that designate things connected with grass, meadows, or turf.

Common phrases include travní porost (a stand or cover of grass), travní plocha or travnatá plocha (a lawn or grassy area), travní směs (a seed mix designed for lawns), and travní úpravy (turf management or lawn maintenance).
