druhých

Druhých is a Czech word formed as the genitive plural of the ordinal adjective druhý, meaning 'second'. It appears in contexts where the second item in a set or the other members of a group are being referred to with a noun in genitive plural.

Grammatical notes: In Czech, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify for gender, number, and case. The genitive plural form of ordinals like druhý is typically -ých, so the form druhých is used in front of nouns in genitive plural. Example: druhých lidí.

Meaning and usage: The primary function of druhých is to indicate 'the second' or to indicate 'the other' members within a group, depending on context. It is not a standalone noun; it is an inflected adjective used with a noun.

In usage, druhých appears in formal writing and everyday speech whenever an ordinal reference in genitive plural is required, such as enumerating items, noting contrasts, or describing subgroups. It coexists with other inflected forms of druhý, including první (first) and třetí (third).
