blízkým

Blízkým is a Czech word form that functions as a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept. It is the dative plural form of the adjective blízký, which means close, near, or intimate. In usage, blízkým is employed when the recipient of an action or the target of a description is a group of people regarded as close or dear to the speaker, such as family members or close friends.

In practice, blízkým appears in sentences that indicate “to the close ones” or “for the close ones.” Examples include: “Poslali jsme dárky blízkým” (We sent gifts to our loved ones) or “Adresováno blízkým” (Addressed to the close ones). The form reflects agreement with a plural masculine personal noun in the dative case, though it can also appear more broadly in phrases describing groups of people characterized as near or dear.

Etymology traces the word back to blízký, meaning near or close, itself derived from the Proto-Slavic root associated with proximity. The sense extends from physical nearness to relational or emotional closeness, encompassing family, friends, and other trusted individuals.

Blízkým is not a proper noun or separate entity; rather, it is a grammatical form used within standard Czech. Its meaning is anchored in the broader usage of blízký to describe close relationships, and its exact meaning in a sentence depends on the corresponding noun it describes in the dative plural.
