analýze

Analýze is a grammatical form of the Czech and Slovak noun analýza, meaning analysis. It is the singular oblique case used for the locative and the dative. The form appears when the noun is governed by prepositions that require the locative (such as v, o) or by prepositions that take the dative (such as k). In practice, analýze is most common in sentences like “v analýze dat” (in the analysis of the data), “o analýze” (about the analysis), or “k analýze” (to the analysis).

Etymology and scope: The word analýza comes from Greek analýsis and was adopted into Czech and Slovak through Latin and other languages. The base term is widely used across disciplines, including science, linguistics, literature, philosophy, statistics, and computer science, to refer to the process or result of breaking something into its components for examination.

Usage notes: analýze is used when the analysis is the focus of the sentence or when it is the recipient of relational actions expressed by prepositions. The nominative form is analýza; the genitive is analýzy; the instrumental singular is analýzou; the plural forms include analýzách (locative), analýzami (instrumental), etc. Correct use depends on the governing preposition and the intended grammatical role of the noun in the sentence.
