standardními

Standardními is the instrumental plural form of the Czech adjective standardní, meaning standard or conventional. It is used to describe nouns in the instrumental case, typically after prepositions that require instrumental, such as s (with). For example: s standardními řešeními (with standard solutions), s standardními postupy (with standard procedures).

Grammar and usage: standardní is a soft, i-gradable adjective. In nominative plural it appears as standardní for all genders (standardní postupy, standardní metody, standardní věci). In the instrumental plural, the form changes to standardními to agree with plural nouns in the instrumental case. The form standardními is therefore used with plural nouns when the action or means is expressed instrumentally, not in the nominative or genitive.

Common contexts: standardními is frequent in technical, business, and formal writing where norms, procedures, or solutions are described as conforming to a standard. It can modify a wide range of plural nouns, including postupy (procedures), řešeními (solutions, with instrumental ending by noun), pravidly (rules), a další (and others).

Relation to related forms: the base adjective standardní contrasts with nestandardní or nestandardní (non-standard). The term reflects the broader Czech adjective system, where standardní inflects like other soft adjectives and adopts the instrumental plural ending -mi in plural contexts.

Etymology: standardní comes from the Czech borrowing of the English word standard, integrated with Czech adjectival morphology through the suffix -ní.
