Vysvtleními

Vysvětleními is the instrumental plural form of the Czech noun vysvětlení, which means explanations or elucidations. It refers to multiple explanations and is used when the explanations themselves are described as the means or accompanying material, often after the preposition s (with). While vysvětlení is common in everyday Czech, vysvětleními appears mainly in formal or technical contexts to discuss several explanations or to indicate accompanying explanations.

Etymology: The noun vysvětlení is derived from the verb vysvětlit (to explain), which historically combines vy- with světlit, a root related to illumination. The sense shifted from “to light up” to “to make clear,” giving rise to the meaning of explanation or clarification.

Spelling and variants: The standard orthography uses diacritics: vysvětleními. A non-diacritic variant, vysvtleními, may appear in nonstandard texts, OCR errors, or situations where diacritics are omitted; such forms are considered incorrect in standard Czech.

Usage: In formal, academic, or technical writing, vysvětleními is used to refer to several explanations or to specify explanations as a supporting element, often after s, for example to indicate accompanying explanations for terms or procedures. It is less common in everyday speech, but it appears in manuals, dictionaries, and legal or scholarly texts.
