Typickou

Typickou is the feminine singular accusative form of the Czech adjective typický, meaning typical. In Czech, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case; typickou is used with feminine nouns in the accusative case, and it can also appear in the feminine instrumental singular depending on the syntactic role. It is commonly used to describe something as characteristic or representative of a group or category.

Etymology and forms: The form derives from typický, which comes from the noun typ “type” plus the adjectival suffix -ický. The ending -ou in feminine singular common across accusative and instrumental cases helps distinguish the grammatical role of the modified noun within a sentence.

Usage notes: Typickou is a descriptive, non-normative adjective that conveys that a feature is typical or usual for a particular instance. It contrasts with typická (nominative feminine) used for the subject, or typické (neuter or plural forms) used with other genders or numbers. Correct agreement with the noun is essential for Czech sentence grammar.

Example: Viděl jsem typickou situaci. Here typickou modifies situaci (feminine singular in the accusative). The form emphasizes the characteristic nature of the situation. In contrast, typická situace would be the nominative subject form.
