nezávislým

Nezávislým is a Czech adjective meaning independent. It is the instrumental singular masculine/neuter form of the adjective nezávislý. This grammatical case is often used to express means, manner, or accompaniment. In common usage, "nezávislým" would appear in a sentence describing something or someone acting or existing in an independent manner, or being the means by which something else is achieved independently.

For example, a phrase like "jednat nezávislým způsobem" translates to "to act in an independent manner." Similarly, "financováno nezávislým zdrojem" means "financed by an independent source." The word itself signifies a state of not being controlled, influenced, or dependent on others. This concept can apply to individuals, organizations, states, or even abstract ideas.

The root of the word lies in "záviset," meaning "to depend." The prefix "ne-" negates this, thus creating "nezávislý" (independent). Understanding the instrumental case is crucial for correctly interpreting "nezávislým" within the context of a Czech sentence, as its grammatical function dictates its precise meaning and placement. The core idea remains the same: freedom from external control or support.
