souhrnech

Souhrnech is the locative plural form of the Czech noun souhrn, which means a summary, outline, or concise compilation. The term itself does not denote a separate concept beyond grammar; it is used to refer to the summaries contained in documents, chapters, or texts. The locative plural is used after prepositions that govern the locative case, such as v (in) or o (about).

In standard usage you will encounter phrases like v souhrnech kapitol (in the summaries of chapters), o souhrnech textu (about the summaries of the text), or v souhrnech dokumentu (in the summaries of the document). These constructions refer to multiple summaries rather than a single one and appear in formal writing, academic contexts, or editorial notes when discussing the condensed content of larger works.

Declension notes: souhrn declines as a masculine noun. In the plural, the nominative form is souhrny, the genitive is souhrnů, the dative is souhrnům, the accusative is souhrny, the instrumental is souhrny, and the locative is souhrnech. The key point for souhrnech is that it marks the activity or location of summaries in a sentence through the locative case.

Etymology traces souhrn to Czech roots related to gathering or compiling. While souhrnech may appear in dictionaries or grammar references, it is primarily of interest in discussions of Czech inflection and usage, rather than as a standalone lexical item.
