studeném

Studeném is the locative singular form of the Czech adjective studený, meaning cold or chilly. It is used with masculine inanimate and neuter nouns in phrases introduced by locative-governing prepositions such as v (in) or o (about) to describe temperature, weather, or the feeling of coldness. Examples include v studeném pokoji (in the cold room) and o studeném počasí (about cold weather). In contrast, feminine nouns take the feminine locative form studené (for example, o studené vodě).

As a morphological form, studeném represents one of the locative-case endings that Czech adjectives display to agree with the noun a sentence describes. The corresponding instrumental singular form is studeným, while the masculine or neuter locative form is studeném. The feminine locative form is studené. These endings reflect standard Czech adjective declension patterns and are used across official, literary, and colloquial language.

Etymology traces studený to Proto-Slavic roots meaning cold, with cognates in other Slavic languages. The word is productive in modern Czech for describing temperature, climate, objects perceived as cold, and sensory experiences.
