informací

Informací is the genitive plural form of the Czech noun informace, which means information, data, or facts. The base word informace is a feminine noun used to denote knowledge that is communicated, received, or known. In Czech, informací appears in contexts that require the genitive plural, such as množství informací (an amount of information), zdroj informací (a source of information), or potřeba informací (the need for information).

Etymology and usage: The noun informace is a loanword in Czech, related to the word information found in many European languages. It is commonly traced to Latin informatio and entered Czech vocabulary through German Information (and related European linguistic channels) during the modernization of the language in the 19th and 20th centuries. The term has given rise to related forms such as informační (informational) and to terms used in fields like information science, information technology, and media.

Function in sentences: Informací functions as a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical item in most examples. It expresses a relational or possessive sense such as “of information.” The base informace remains the general term for information, while informací is used when the sentence requires the genitive plural, typically after words that govern or quantify information, or in phrases describing sources, needs, or amounts of information.
