hypotetickém

Hypotetickém is the locative singular masculine/inanimate form of the Czech adjective hypotetický, meaning "hypothetical." It is used to describe conditions, scenarios, or statements that are assumed for the sake of argument, analysis, or modeling rather than proven facts.

In Czech grammar, hypotetický is a regular -ický adjective. The form hypotetickém appears after prepositions such as v or ve to indicate a location or context within a hypothetical frame, for example: v hypotetickém scénáři or v hypotetickém případě. This form is common in formal, technical, and academic texts, but it also occurs in everyday language when discussing imagined or conditional situations. The broader adjective can take other gendered and number forms to agree with the noun it modifies, while hypotetickém specifically marks the locative singular masculine/inanimate.

Etymology traces hypotetický to Greek hypothetikos, via Latin hypotheticus, with the Czech development aligning to the common pattern of -ický adjectives. The root relates to hypothesis and hypothetical reasoning, as seen in related terms such as hypotéza (hypothesis) and hypotetika (theory or study of hypothetical concepts).

Usage notes: hypotetickém conveys that something is not real or yet unproven, used to discuss models, scenarios, or arguments under hypothetical conditions. It is distinct from terms meaning proven or factual and serves to frame reasoning or analysis within an assumed context.
