formálních

Formálních is the genitive plural form of the Czech adjective formální, meaning formal or relating to form, structure, or official status. The base adjective formální is used to describe things associated with proper procedure, official requirements, or outward appearance. In ordinary text, formálních appears with nouns in the genitive plural, for example formálních pravidel (of formal rules), formálních dopisů (of formal letters), or formálních obřadů (of formal ceremonies).

Etymology and development: formální derives from the Latin formalis (pertaining to form) through the historical development of Czech, where the word is built from the root forma (form) with the common Czech suffix -ální. The sense of formality broadened in modern Czech to include language, attire, behavior, and procedures that follow established conventions.

Usage and contexts: formální is widely used in contexts involving official language, dress codes, or procedural requirements. It contrasts with neformální (informal) or neoficiální (unofficial) forms. In academic, administrative, and diplomatic styles, formální language or formální komunikace denotes style that avoids slang and favors precise, conventional expressions.

Grammar and inflection: formální behaves as a soft adjective in Czech. It inflects like other adjectives and, in genitive plural, takes the form formálních. This pattern appears in phrases where the noun is plural and in the genitive case, signaling possession or association with formal characteristics.
