identické

Identické is an inflected form of the Czech and Slovak adjective identický, meaning identical or the same in terms of qualities or characteristics. It is used to describe nouns to indicate sameness of properties, appearance, or identity with another item or set.

The word derives from the root ident- (identity) with the common Slavic adjective suffix -ický, which forms words related to identity or sameness. Identické, as a grammatical form, appears in contexts where the noun it modifies is neuter or plural, and it agrees in gender and number with the noun.

In usage, identické serves to express that two or more items share the same features or are interchangeable in a given sense. It is common in everyday language, commerce, technical writing, and comparisons. For example, identické zboží describes identical goods, identické kopie refers to identical copies, and identické řešení denotes an identical solution. The term can appear in product descriptions, specifications, and discussions of equivalence or standardization.

Related terms include identita (identity) and identický (the base form of the adjective). While identické is most directly tied to Czech and Slovak, similar concepts and cognate forms exist across related Slavic languages, reflecting the same linguistic root for identity and sameness.
