osvaleným

Osvaleným is the instrumental singular form of the Czech adjective osvalený, meaning muscular or well-developed in musculature. The base adjective osvalený comes from sval, muscle, and is connected to the verb osvalit/osvalovat, which means to bulk up or build muscle.

Usage and meaning: Osvaleným is used when the noun it describes is in the instrumental case. For example, S osvaleným trupem se procházel po pláži (with a muscular torso). Another common construction is S osvaleným tělem (with a muscular body). The form is one of several inflected forms that adjectives take to agree with gender, number, and case.

Grammatical notes: Osvalený declines like other Czech adjectives. The instrumental singular masculine form is osvaleným, while feminine and neuter forms have their own instrumental forms. In practice, osvaleným is typically encountered with masculine singular nouns in instrumental contexts.

Context and usage: The term conveys a clear sense of noticeable muscular development. It is commonly found in fitness, sports journalism, and anatomical descriptions. While it is a precise descriptive option, it can carry a slightly formal or technical tone compared with simpler synonyms such as svalnatý (muscular, brawny).

Related terms: sval (muscle), svalnatý (muscular, brawny), osvalit (to bulk up), svalový (muscular, related to muscles).
