homogennímu

Homogenní, in Czech often seen in form homogenní, is an adjective meaning consisting of uniform material or properties throughout; in English this is expressed as homogeneous. It is used in science, engineering, and everyday language to describe substances, mixtures, structures, or distributions where components are evenly spread or identical in composition.

The word is derived from the Greek prefix homo- meaning same and genos meaning kind or origin, and it has entered Czech through scientific vocabulary. The related verb form homogennizovat means to homogenize, or to make uniform. In Czech, the term has a number of inflected forms to agree with gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies.

Homogenní is used with nouns of different genders, for example homogenní látka (feminine), homogenní vzorek (masculine), or homogenní prostředí (neuter). The specific form homogennímu is the dative singular form used before masculine or neuter nouns, as in phrases like to the homogeneous sample: homogennímu vzorku, or to homogeneous environment: homogennímu prostředí. This form reflects Czech gender and case morphology rather than a separate lexical meaning.

In practical usage, the term contrasts with heterogenní, meaning non-uniform or consisting of different components. It appears across disciplines such as chemistry (homogenní směs), biology (homogenní populace), materials science, statistics, and soil science, where describing uniformity is important for analysis and interpretation. The concept supports discussions of purity, consistency, and distribution within a system.
