smysluplným

Smysluplným is the instrumental singular form of the Czech adjective smysluplný, meaning meaningful or purposeful. It is used to describe nouns in the instrumental case or to form adverbial expressions such as smysluplným způsobem (in a meaningful way).

Etymology: The word comes from the noun smysl (sense, meaning) with the suffix -plný, which indicates “full of” or “laden with.” The instrumental form smysluplným reflects Czech adjective declension and agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies.

Usage and grammar: Smysluplný describes qualities related to sense or purpose. Its ending changes with gender and number: masculine and neuter singular instrumental plural is smysluplným, feminine singular instrumental is smysluplnou, and plural instrumental is smysluplnými. It commonly appears in formal or analytical prose to characterize methods, actions, or decisions as meaningful or purposeful. Typical collocations include smysluplným způsobem (in a meaningful way) or, less frequently, with nouns in instrumental to emphasize the manner of conduct, e.g., projekt byl realizován smysluplným způsobem.

Examples:

- Projekt byl realizován smysluplným způsobem.

- Rozhodnutí bylo považováno za smysluplné, a proto bylo podporováno.

Notes: Smysluplný has a closely related form smysluplně, an adverb meaning meaningfully. The instrumental form smysluplným is primarily used to describe the manner of action or process rather than a simple predicate in nominative constructions.

In summary, smysluplným is the instrumental form of smysluplný used to express that something is done in a meaningful or purposeful way, with appropriate agreement to gender and number.
