mechanickým

Mechanickým is the instrumental singular form of the Czech adjective mechanický, meaning mechanical or relating to machinery. It is used to describe something performed by or involving machines, or conveyed in a mechanical way, when expressed in the instrumental case.

In Czech, adjectives agree in gender, number, and case with the nouns they modify. Mechanickým marks masculine and neuter instrumental singular, while the feminine instrumental singular form is mechanickou, and the plural instrumental form is mechanickými. For example, s mechanickým zařízením means with mechanical equipment, and Pracoval mechanickým způsobem means he worked in a mechanical way.

Common contexts for mechanickým include technical, engineering, and scientific language, where the adjective characterizes methods, devices, or processes that rely on machinery rather than human or natural actions. It can appear in phrases describing tools, mechanisms, or processes that function by mechanical means.

Etymologically, mechanický derives from the root related to mechanism, mechanismus, and machinery, with its Czech form adapated to fit the language’s inflectional system. The term is closely related to similar words in other Slavic languages and to the broader concept of mechanics in science and engineering.
