praktického

Praktického is a Czech word form that functions as an inflected form of the adjective praktický, meaning practical. It is not a standalone word with a fixed meaning, but a grammatical form used in phrases where the noun it modifies is in the genitive case.

In Czech, adjectives agree with the noun they describe in gender, number, and case. Praktického is the genitive singular form of praktický, and it commonly appears when the noun it modifies is in the genitive and, depending on the noun’s gender, the situation requires this ending. This form can be found in pairs like praktického učitele (of a practical teacher), praktického nástroje (of a practical tool), or praktického řešení (of a practical solution).

Semantic range for praktický includes meanings such as useful, workable, or directly applicable, rather than merely theoretical. The exact nuance depends on the noun it accompanies and the broader context. It contrasts with the adverbial form prakticky, which means practically or in practice, and with other inflected forms of the adjective used in different cases or genders.

Usage note: As with many Czech adjectives, the same stem yields different endings for other cases and genders. The form praktického specifically flags a genitive singular relationship, often expressing possession, description, or association in noun phrases. For learners, recognizing the genitive context in a phrase helps identify when praktického is appropriate and how it relates to the noun it modifies.
