adresátovi

Adresátovi is the dative singular form of the Czech noun adresát, meaning the addressee or recipient in correspondence and related contexts. The base form is adresát; other common forms include adresáta (genitive and accusative), adresáte (vocative), and adresátovi (dative and locative), with instrumental as adresátem and plural forms such as adresáti.

In grammar, adresát denotes the person to whom something is addressed or who is the target of a message, package, or document. The form adresátovi is used for indirect objects in sentences, often after verbs like poslat, posílat, nebo dopis určený adresátovi. It also appears in phrases signaling to whom something is written or sent. For example: “Odeslal jsem dopis adresátovi.” (I sent the letter to the addressee.) “Doporučili jsme lhůtu adresátovi” is less common, but illustrates dative use with certain verbs.

Usage notes: adresátovi is primarily found in formal or written Czech, such as letters, official notices, and administrative language. It is part of a regular masculine noun’s declension pattern and mirrors other dative forms ending in -ovi for singular nouns of this type. In everyday speech, speakers may use simpler constructions or substitute synonyms like příjemce, depending on register.
