platebními

Platebními is the instrumental plural form of the Czech adjective platební, which means related to payments or payment methods. The term appears in financial, commercial, and administrative language to describe objects, processes, or systems that involve monetary transactions. It is commonly found in compound terms such as platební karta (payment card), platební brána (payment gateway), platební systém (payment system), and platební transakce (payment transaction).

In use, platební is typically attached to a noun to specify the domain of payments. For example, platební karta refers to a card used to make payments, platební proces describes the processes involved in completing a payment, and platební příkaz denotes a payment instruction. The form platebními appears when the described noun is in the instrumental plural, as in s platebními kartami (with payment cards) or používány platebními kartami (used by payment cards). This illustrates the Czech system of adjective declension, where platební becomes platebními in the instrumental plural.

Etymology traces platební to the noun platba (payment) with the adjectival suffix -ní, yielding a term that is widely used in banking, e-commerce, and public administration. The word functions as a head in noun phrases and as a modifier in compound terms, contributing to precise, formal descriptions of payment-related concepts in Czech.
