ilustrativním

Ilustrativním is a form of the Czech adjective ilustrativní, meaning “illustrative” or “representative.” The word belongs to the Czech adjective category that is used to describe something that serves as an illustration, example, or demonstration. It is frequently employed in academic, legal, literary, and technical contexts to indicate that a particular item or text provides a representative example or clarifies a point. For instance, a legal document might contain an ilustrativní přiklad (illustrative example) to help explain the application of a rule, or a textbook might include ilustrativních ilustrací (illustrative illustrations) to enhance understanding.

The root of ilustrativní comes from the Latin word illustratio, which means “illumination” or “display.” In Czech, the adjective can appear in various grammatical forms: ilustrativní (nominative), ilustrativního (genitive), ilustrativnímu (dative), ilustrativní (accusative), and ilustrativním (instrumental or locative, depending on context). The instrumental form ilustrativním is used when the adjective modifies a noun that is in the instrumental case, indicating the means or manner something is illustrated, while the locative form is used after prepositions requiring location.

In modern Czech usage, ilustrativním and related forms are often seen in written and spoken discourse. They help clarify abstract concepts by providing a concrete visual or descriptive counterpart.
