spojitého

Spojitého is the genitive singular form of the Czech adjective spojitý, meaning connected or continuous. It is used when the noun it modifies is masculine or neuter and appears in the genitive case, for example in phrases such as spojitého času, meaning “of continuous time.” The form is common in technical and mathematical Czech, where the notion of continuity or connectedness often appears in compounds and descriptors.

In Czech grammar, adjectives decline for gender, number, and case. For masculine singular and neuter nouns in the genitive singular, the adjective spojitý takes the form spojitého. This occurs in phrases like spojitého času (of continuous time), spojitého stavu (of the continuous state), or spojitého systému (of the continuous system). The same pattern is used for other genitive constructions, aligning the adjective with the gender and number of the modified noun.

Etymology and usage: spojitého derives from the verb spojit, meaning to join or connect. The underlying sense of spojitý—whether in general usage or in mathematical contexts—relates to being joined, linked, or continuous. In mathematics Czech, the related noun spojitost denotes continuity or connectedness, and phrases such as spojitá funkce (a continuous function) illustrate how the base adjective operates in technical terminology. The form spojitého, as a grammatical inflection, does not introduce a separate concept but enables correct agreement in genitive constructions.

Notes: As with other Czech adjectives, the exact spelling of the genitive singular form reflects phonological and orthographic conventions of the stem, yielding spojitého in masculine or neuter genitive singular contexts.
