jednotliví

Jednotlivé is a Czech adjective meaning individual, separate or particular. It is used to refer to items that belong to a larger set and to emphasize their distinct, separate nature. In typical usage, the word precedes the noun it describes, as in lists, descriptions of processes, or sections of a text.

Morphology and usage context: jednotlivé is a form of the base adjective jednotlivý. The endings of Czech adjectives vary with gender and number, so jednotlivé appears in neuter singular and feminine plural contexts. For example, neuter singular phrases such as jednotlivé číslo or jednotlivé řešení, and feminine plural phrases such as jednotlivé položky, jednotlivé kapitoly, are common in Czech texts. The form is widely used in technical, procedural, legal, and descriptive writing to single out each item within a group.

Examples:

- Jednotlivé položky seznamu vyžadují schválení. (The individual items of the list require approval.)

- V kapitole popisujeme jednotlivé kapitoly knihy. (In the chapter we describe the individual chapters of the book.)

Related terms and synonyms include jednotlivý (masculine), jednotlivá (feminine), and konkrétní, which conveys a similar sense of specificity. Jednotlivé remains a neutral, functional word commonly encountered in formal Czech prose.
