sedací

Sedací is a Czech adjective meaning “for sitting” or “relating to seating.” It describes objects designed to be sat on, most often furniture. In everyday and commercial language it appears as an attributive modifier in compound nouns such as sedací souprava (sofa set), sedací nábytek (seating furniture), or sedací plocha (seating surface).

Typical terms and usage include sedací souprava, a common name for a sofa set; rozkládací sedací souprava, a sofa that can be unfolded into a bed; sedací nábytek, a broad category covering items used for sitting, such as sofas, couches, armchairs, ottomans, and bean bags described as sedací vak. The adjective also appears in phrases like sedací plocha (the seating surface) or sedací část pohovky (the seating portion of a sofa). In everyday speech, more specific words like gauč or křeslo are often used for individual pieces, while sedací serves as a general descriptive term in catalogs and interior discussions.

Etymology and grammar: sedací is formed from the verb sedět (to sit) with the adjective-forming suffix -ací, yielding a present-day participial adjective. It is predominantly used attributively to qualify furniture and other items intended for sitting, and it is widely established in Czech furniture terminology. In translations, it is commonly rendered as “seating” or “for sitting.”
