sportovních

Sportovních is a Czech adjective form derived from sportovní, meaning “sports-related” or “sporting.” It is used to modify a noun in plural, specifically when the noun is in the genitive or locative case. In other words, sportovních does not stand alone; it agrees with the noun it describes and signals a relation to sport.

In Czech grammar, adjectives show gender, number, and case. The ending -ních marks the plural genitive and plural locative forms. Examples:

- dodržování sportovních pravidel (the adherence to sports rules) — sportovních is genitive plural, describing pravidel.

- na sportovních arenách (in sports arenas) — sportovních is locative plural, describing arenách.

- barvy sportovních týmů (colors of sports teams) — sportovních is genitive plural, describing týmů.

Usage notes:

- sportovních must agree in number and case with the noun it modifies. The same base adjective sportovní has different endings in other cases and numbers.

- as a standalone word, sportovních is not a noun; it is an inflected form of sportovní used in phrases to express relation to sport.
