kulináského

Kulináského is a form found in Czech that functions as the genitive singular of a culinary-related adjective. It is formed from the root kulinář- (culinary, gastronomic) and is used to indicate a relationship to cooking or gastronomy in phrases such as “kulináského umění” (of culinary art) or “kulináského průmyslu” (of the culinary industry). In modern standard Czech, the more common genitive singular of the related adjective is usually kulinářského, but kulináského may appear in older texts, regional varieties, or certain literary styles.

Etymology and related terms: The root kulinár- derives from the Latin culina meaning kitchen, passing into Czech via French culinaire, and it appears across a range of gastronomic terms. Related words include kulinářství (culinary arts), kulinářský (culinary), and various compound forms describing cuisine and cooking practices.

Grammar and usage: Like other Czech adjectives, kulinářské or kulinářský-derived forms decline to agree with the noun they modify. The genitive singular form appears in phrases describing ownership or association with culinary matters. While kulinářský is the standard modern adjective meaning culinary, forms such as kulináského may be encountered in older or regional usage, where spelling and declension variants were more common.

See also: kulinářství, kulinářský, gastronomy, culinary arts.

Note: The term is primarily a linguistic or lexical item rather than a standalone concept, and its emphasis is on the grammatical form used to express “of culinary” in Czech.
