fyzicky

Fyzicky is an adverb in Czech (and Slovak) meaning physically, in a bodily sense, as opposed to mentally or emotionally. It is formed from the adjective fyzický (physical) and is used to indicate the physical dimension of actions, conditions, or manifestations.

Usage examples include: fyzicky náročná práce vyžaduje velkou fyzickou zdatnost; je fyzicky zdatný; zranění se projevilo fyzicky. In everyday language fyzicky often emphasizes bodily aspects of activities or states, while more technical contexts may favor tělesně to describe bodily properties in a medical or anatomical sense. The nuance is that fyzicky generally broadens to include physical aspects of actions or processes, whereas tělesně tends to appear in formal or clinical contexts.

Etymology and related terms: fyzicky derives from fyzický, which comes from vyrazu fyzika (physics) and ultimately from Greek physis ('nature'). In Czech, the adverb exists alongside related forms such as fyzický (physical), tělesný (bodily), and fyzika (physics). In Slovak, the word is used similarly to Czech, with the same basic meaning to denote the physical dimension of something rather than its mental or emotional aspects.
