státního

Státního is a Czech word form, the declined oblique form of the adjective státní, which means "state" or "national." It appears mainly as the genitive singular for masculine and neuter nouns and as the accusative singular for masculine animate nouns (the accusative animate form coincides with the genitive). As an inflected form, státního is used to indicate possession, association, or the direct object when required by Czech grammar.

The form is common in legal, administrative and public contexts, where it modifies nouns related to government institutions, public property or national affairs. Examples include státního rozpočtu ("of the state budget"), státního svátku ("of the national holiday") and řízení státního úřadu ("administration of a state office"). Because Czech adjectives agree in gender, number and case with the nouns they modify, státního contrasts with other forms of státní such as státní (nominative singular) or státním (instrumental/dative forms).

Understanding státního requires familiarity with Czech declension patterns and case usage. It carries no independent lexical meaning apart from the adjective it derives from, and its use is governed by syntax and the case demands of surrounding words.
