gobletovými

Gobletovými is a Czech instrumental plural adjective form derived from the loanword gobletový, used in technical language to describe something that is cup- or goblet-shaped or related to goblets. It commonly appears in biological, anatomical, and botanical terminology, where researchers form compound phrases such as gobletovými buňkami (with goblet cells) or gobletovými tvary (goblet-shaped forms).

Morphology and usage

In Czech, gobletový is a masculine adjective; its feminine singular is gobletová and its plural nominative is gobletové. The instrumental plural, used after prepositions requiring the instrumental case, is gobletovými. For example, one might encounter phrases like “s gobletovými buňkami” (with goblet cells) or descriptions of structures described as gobletovými tvary. While gobletovými is correct in formal, technical writing, many authors may prefer native Czech descriptors such as džbánovitý or kalichovitý when a purely Czech expression is desired.

Etymology and context

Gobletovými originates from the English word goblet and its Czech adaptation gobletový. The term is a specialized linguistic and scientific device, more likely to appear in translations, glossaries, or research articles than in everyday language. In practice, gobletovými often coexists with native opposites or clarifications to convey cup-shaped morphology precisely.
