mírnou

mírnou is a Czech grammatical form of the adjective mírný, meaning mild, gentle or moderate. It is specifically the feminine singular form used in certain cases, most notably the accusative and the instrumental, when describing a feminine noun. The lemma of the word is mírný, and mírnou is one of its declined endings that agree with a feminine noun in number (singular) and case.

In Czech, adjectives decline to match the gender, number and case of the nouns they modify. For feminine singular, the basic pattern is mírná in the nominative, mírnou in the accusative, and mírnou in the instrumental. Other feminine singular forms include mírné for genitive and dative, with mírné or mírné for locative depending on the word. Thus, mírnou can appear in sentences where a feminine noun in the accusative or instrumental case is modified, such as before a feminine noun like tvář, změnu or opatrnost.

Examples:

- Viděl mírnou tvář. (I saw a gentle face.)

- Způsobil mírnou změnu klimatu. (He caused a mild change in climate.)

- Jednal s mírnou opatrností. (He acted with gentle caution.)

Usage notes:

- mírnou is not a standalone noun; it is a declined form of mírný used to describe a feminine singular noun.

- The meaning remains within the semantic field of gentleness, calmness or moderation; context determines whether it refers to appearance, effect, behavior, or other qualities.
