jmenném

Jmenným is a grammatical term used in Czech linguistics to denote the instrumental singular form of the adjective jmenný, which means nominal or name-related. The term is used to describe cases where something is expressed in a nominal rather than a verbal form. In linguistic analysis, jmenný is contrasted with slovesný (verbal).

Etymology and morphology: Jmenný derives from jméno, meaning name, with the adjectival suffix -ný. The instrumental singular masculine form is jmenným, used in phrases that require the instrumental case or to indicate how something is expressed in a nominal form, for example jmenným tvarem or jmenným způsobem.

Usage: Jmenný and its instrumental form appear in grammar descriptions, typological studies, and discussions of Czech morphosyntax. They help distinguish between nominal constructions and verbal constructions within sentences. The forms change for gender and number, with other inflected forms such as jmennou or jmennými appearing in other contexts.
