obanských

Občanských is the genitive plural form of the Czech adjective občanský, meaning civic or civil and relating to citizens or civil society. It is used in contexts that refer to things belonging to or concerning citizens, civil rights, or the civil sphere, typically in legal, political, or sociological language. The form derives from the noun občan (citizen) with the standard adjectival suffix -ský; in this declension, the genitive plural ending is -ých.

In usage, občanských appears most often in phrases that describe rights, duties, or institutions associated with citizens. Examples include ochrana občanských práv (protection of civil rights), vydání občanských průkazů (issuance of identity cards), and činnost občanských sdružení (activities of civil associations). The term can modify nouns in genitive plural to indicate belonging or relation to the civil domain, such as civil rights, civil organizations, or civil institutions.

Linguistic notes: občanský is part of a broad family of adjectives formed from obcan (citizen) and used throughout Czech to distinguish civil or civic contexts from other senses. The genitive plural občanských is a common pattern for adjectives of this type when describing plural nouns in possessive or relational constructions. The diacritics are important for correct spelling in standard Czech; without diacritics, the form appears as obanských, which may occur in ASCII text or older sources.
