Trvalých

Trvalých is a form of the Czech adjective trvalý, meaning permanent, lasting, or enduring. It is most commonly encountered as the genitive plural form used with nouns that are in the genitive plural. In practical terms, trvalých accompanies a noun to express the idea of permanence or duration of the mentioned feature.

Morphology and usage

The word trvalých appears in contexts such as trvalých změn (lasting changes), trvalých důsledků (permanent consequences), or trvalých problémů (persistent problems). It can modify nouns from different genders because the genitive plural form is used regardless of the noun’s gender. The form is typical of formal or written Czech, especially in technical, legal, or analytical texts, but can also appear in journalism and official language.

Semantics and relationships

Trvalý and its comparative forms cover a range from temporary to persistent, with trvalý emphasizing long duration or continuity. The noun form trvalost denotes permanence as a concept, while trvalých defines a feature belonging to or associated with permanent aspects when described for multiple items. It is related to synonyms such as stálý and trvalá, though usage may vary by context and grammatical agreement.

Notes

Understanding trvalých requires attention to surrounding nouns in genitive plural. Misplacing it with other cases or with non-genitive plurals can alter meaning or correctness. The term is versatile across disciplines, including linguistics, law, and policy discussions, wherever permanence or durability is being described.
