telesných

Telesných is a grammatical form rather than a standalone noun. In Czech and Slovak, it is the genitive plural form of the adjective meaning corporeal, physical. The corresponding base adjectives are tělesný in Czech and telesný in Slovak, both derived from the noun for body (tělo in Czech, telo in Slovak). The form telesných (Slovak) and tělesných (Czech) is used when the modified noun is in the genitive plural.

In usage, telesný/tělesný and its inflected forms describe things pertaining to the body or physical attributes. They appear in medical, biological, or legal language and in contexts comparing corporal aspects to non-physical ones. Examples include phrases such as tělesná teplota or tělesná hmotnost in Czech (body temperature and body weight) and telesná teplota or telesná hmotnosť in Slovak. The form telesných is typically seen with plural nouns in genitive, for instance "počet telesných/orgánov" in Slovak or "počet tělesných orgánů" in Czech (the number of bodily organs).

Orthography differs between the languages: Czech uses diacritics (tělesný, tělesných), while Slovak writes without the háček (telesný, telesných). Despite spelling differences, the meaning remains the same across languages: it denotes physiological or corporeal aspects.
