konkrétním

Konkrétním is a form of the Czech adjective konkrétní, meaning specific or concrete. It is used to express precision or definiteness of a noun when the noun is in the instrumental case, typically with masculine or neuter nouns. For example, s konkrétním klientem means with a specific client, or konkrétním řešením means with a concrete solution. The feminine instrumental singular form is different and is used with feminine nouns.

In everyday Czech, konkretní and its instrumental forms appear across domains such as journalism, law, business, and science, where precision is important. Common collocations include s konkrétním klientem, s konkrétním řešením, s konkrétním bodem and konkrétním způsobem.

Etymology and meaning: the word is derived from the Czech root konkrétn-, from the adjective konktrétní, itself tracing back to Latin concretus, with subsequent spread through German and other languages into Czech. The semantic field covers things that are distinct, definite, or well defined, as opposed to general or vague.

Related forms and usage: the adverb konkretně (specifically) is derived from the same root and is widely used to specify how something is done. Konkrétní remains a common term in both spoken and written Czech when the speaker wants to denote precision or a particular instance rather than a generic one.
