kyselého

Kyselého is the genitive singular form of the Czech adjective kyselý, meaning sour, acidic, or tangy. It is used when the adjective accompanies a masculine or neuter noun in the genitive case, typically in expressions describing taste or metaphorical acidity. In Czech, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number and case, so kyselého appears before masculine or neuter nouns in genitive singular.

Common uses include culinary descriptions and literary phrasing. For example, chuť kyselého jablka describes the taste of a sour apple, and chuť kyselého citronu refers to the taste of a sour lemon. When the noun is feminine, the genitive singular form of the adjective changes to kyselé, as in chuť kyselé limonády (the taste of a sour lemonade).

Beyond ordinary adjectives, kyselého can also appear as part of inflected proper names, where a surname such as Kyselý is declined in a sentence, yielding forms like Kyselého. The word ultimately derives from the root kysel-, related to sour or acidic concepts, and is connected to related terms such as kyselina (acid).

In summary, kyselého is a grammatical form used to describe something sour in the genitive singular, commonly found in descriptions of taste or in figurative language, and it may also occur as an inflected surname in text.
