centrálním

Centrálním is the instrumental singular form of the Czech adjective centrální, meaning central or relating to the center. It is used to describe something in relation to a center and is commonly found in technical, administrative, and urban planning language. As a declined form, centrálním agrees with masculine nouns in the instrumental case.

Etymology and function: centrální comes from the Latin centrum through European languages and was adopted into Czech with the meaning of central or pivotal. The form centrálním appears when the described noun is masculine and in the instrumental case, for example in phrases such as centrálním systémem or centrálním bodem.

Usage notes: centrálním is typically encountered in formal or specialized texts. It signals that the thing being described serves or operates from a center or central point. The corresponding feminine and neuter forms use different endings according to Czech adjective declension rules, and the base form centrální is used before neuter and feminine nouns in nominative or other cases.

Examples:

- Projekt je řízen centrálním systémem. (The project is managed by a central system.)

- Město se soustředí na centrálním bodě, který zajišťuje dopravní průchodnost. (The city focuses on a central point that ensures traffic flow.)

- Dokument popisuje centrálním umístěním datových center. (The document describes the central placement of data centers.)

Centrálním thus functions as a single grammatical form within Czech declension, used to convey centrality in relation to masculine nouns in the instrumental case.
