jiných

Jiných is a form of the Czech adjective jiný, which means "other" or "different." Specifically, jiných is the genitive plural and locative plural form, used to refer to multiple other items or to express a relationship of belonging to other ones in contexts governed by case, number, and prepositions.

Grammatical notes: The Czech adjective jiný declines to agree with the noun it modifies. Jiných appears when the noun phrase is in the genitive plural or in the locative plural. This form is common in written and spoken Czech, especially in comparisons, classifications, or when indicating things that are not part of a referenced set.

Usage and examples:

- Genitive plural: domy jiných lidí meaning "the houses of other people" or "other people’s houses."

- Locative plural (often after a preposition): v jiných zemích meaning "in other countries."

- With numerals or quantifiers that require genitive: většina jiných zemí meaning "the majority of other countries."

Context and nuance: Jiných conveys a sense of contrast or distinction relative to a known group or referent. It is typically preceded by a noun or determiner that marks the broader category being contrasted, such as většina, části, or lidé, or used in prepositional phrases with v, z, s, or bez.
