jednoduchou

Jednoduchou is the instrumental singular feminine form of the Czech adjective jednoduchý, which means "simple" or "easy." It is used to describe a feminine noun in the instrumental case, a grammatical role that appears in certain constructions or after prepositions that govern the instrumental.

In Czech, adjectives change form to agree with the gender, number, and case of the nouns they modify. The feminine singular instrumental ending is typically -ou, so a phrase like s jednoduchou prací means "with simple work," and jednoduchou metodou means "by a simple method." These forms are common in everyday language, writing, and educational materials.

Examples of usage:

- s jednoduchou prací

- jednoduchou metodou

- prací, kterou lze zvládnout jednoduchou metodou

Relationship to other forms:

Jednoduchý (masculine) and jednoduché (neuter) have their own instrumental forms, such as jednoduchým, depending on gender. The form jednoducho is not used for nouns; it remains specifically the feminine instrumental singular form of jednoduchý.

Etymology:

The form is derived from the root jednoduch- in jednoduchý, which conveys the sense of being not complex or easy. The -ou ending marks the feminine instrumental singular in Czech grammar.
