latinského

Latinského is a form of the Czech adjective latinský in the genitive singular, used to mean “of Latin” or “Latin-related.” In Czech, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify in gender, number, and case, so latinského appears when the noun is in the genitive case. The base form latinský is used for masculine and neuter nouns, while feminine forms differ.

Origin and meaning: latinský derives from Latin Latīnus, entering Czech through historical contact with Latin and Roman-era culture. The term denotes something pertaining to the Latin language, Latin origin, or Roman cultural influence, and it is commonly found in scholarly, linguistic, historical, and literary contexts.

Usage examples: slova latinského původu (words of Latin origin), latinského jazyka (of the Latin language), latinského písma (Latin script). In connected phrases, latinského can describe features, styles, or periods associated with Latin, such as latinského období or latinského kulturního odkazů, depending on the noun it accompanies.

Grammatical note: latinského is specifically the genitive singular form. It cannot stand alone as a predicate; it modifies a noun already in genitive. For feminine nouns, the corresponding genitive singular form is latinské. This pattern reflects the standard Czech adjective declension, in which the form changes to match the gender and case of the noun it describes.
