sadách

Sadách is the locative plural form of the Czech noun sad, meaning orchard, grove, or fruit garden. It is used when referring to orchards as a location in sentences that require the locative case, typically after prepositions such as v or o (for example, v sadech, o sadech).

In everyday Czech, sadeční forms are primarily grammatical and appear in prose, geography, and agriculture when discussing orchards or the landscape. Common sentences might include “V sadech pěstují jabloně” (In the orchards, apples are cultivated) or “O sadech se psalo v regionálním průvodci” (There was writing about the orchards in the regional guide). The form sadách does not introduce a separate semantic concept beyond the location of orchards; it is a morphologically required ending for the locative plural.

Etymology and related forms: sad comes from Proto-Slavic *sadъ, meaning orchard or garden. The plural nominative is sady, while the locative plural is sadách. Other grammatical cases for sad include sadu (genitive singular), sadu (dative singular), and sadech (locative singular), reflecting standard Czech noun declension patterns for masculine inanimate nouns of the o-stem variety.
