etnických

Etnických is the genitive plural form of the Czech adjective etnický, which means “ethnic” or “of ethnicity.” It is used to describe nouns in the genitive case, for example etnických skupin (of ethnic groups) or etnických minorit (of ethnic minorities). The base term etnický refers to attributes, identities or processes connected with ethnicity, culture, language or shared origins.

Etymology and scope: etnický derives from the Greek ethnos meaning a people or nation, via Latin etnicus, and has been integrated into Czech vocabulary through European linguistic contact. In social sciences, etnický is used to discuss ethnicity as a social construct that encompasses language, customs, history and self-identification. It is distinct from terms such as národnost (nationality or nationality-based identity) and from race in that ethnicity is often multidimensional and fluid, varying across contexts and self-perception.

Usage and contexts: In everyday and academic language, etnický appears in phrases like etnická identita, etnické skupiny, etnické složení populace, or etnická diskriminace. It is common in demography, sociology, anthropology and law to describe phenomena related to ethnic groups, their rights, representation, experiences and interethnic relations. The form etnických commonly appears when referring to chromosomes? No, to plural genitive: etnických minorit, etnických komunit.
