konkrétními

Konkrétními is the instrumental plural form of the Czech adjective konkrétní, which means specific or concrete. The word is used to describe nouns and to specify which particular thing or group is being referred to. In Czech, the adjective concreta, including konkrétní, declines by gender, number and case; instrumental plural forms such as konkrétními appear with plural nouns in phrases like with specific people or with specific factors.

In practice, konkrétní is used in many contexts to introduce or specify details. Examples include s konkrétními lidmi (with specific people), konkrétními fakty (with concrete facts), or konkrétními kroky (with specific steps). The form konkrétními attaches to masculine, feminine and neuter plural nouns in the instrumental case. Other plural forms include nominative konkrétní, genitive konkrétních, dative konkrétním and instrumental konkrétními, as well as other case endings depending on gender and number. The adjective is one of the soft adjectives in Czech and follows its own declension pattern similar to other adjectives ending in -í.

Etymologically, konkrétní derives from a root meaning concrete or real, shared with related words in several Slavic languages and European languages that use a comparable term for “specific” or “concrete.” Its usage contrasts with adverbs like konkrétně (specifically) and with more general terms such as obecný or všeobecný, which do not carry the same precise qualification.

Overall, konkrétními marks a precise, case-driven use of the adjective konkrétní in the instrumental plural, typically in phrases that denote specificity or concreteness.
