syntaktickou

Syntaktickou is a grammatically inflected form of the Czech adjective syntaktický, meaning syntactic. It represents the feminine singular in two cases, most commonly the accusative and the instrumental. As a result, syntaktickou modifies feminine nouns such as analýza (accusative: syntaktickou analýzu) or chyba (instrumental: syntaktickou chybou).

In Czech, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in gender, number, and case. The base meaning of syntaktický is related to syntax—the set of rules that govern the structure of sentences and phrases. The form syntaktickou is used whenever a feminine noun in the appropriate case requires a descriptive adjective meaning “syntactic.”

Examples of usage include:

- syntaktickou analýzu provádět – to perform a syntactic analysis (accusative)

- syntaktickou analýzou zjistit – to determine via a syntactic analysis (instrumental)

- syntaktickou chybou označit – to designate as a syntactic error (instrumental)

Syntaktickou therefore functions as a grammatical inflection rather than a standalone lexical item. It appears primarily in linguistic, grammatical, and academic texts describing syntax-related phenomena. Beyond describing rules, the term may appear in general writing when the topic concerns sentence structure or the description of syntactic phenomena in a language. Its usage is confined to contexts where feminine nouns in the relevant cases require an adjective meaning “syntactic.” See also syntaktický, syntax, Czech grammar.
