tisícnásobný

tisícnásobný is a Czech adjective meaning thousandfold or a thousand times greater. It is used to describe quantities, magnitudes, or occurrences multiplied by a thousand relative to a reference value. The term is formed from tisíc (thousand) and násobný (multiplied), and the standard spelling is tisícnásobný; hyphenated variants such as tisíc-násobný appear in some texts but are less common.

In usage, tisícnásobný describes concrete or abstract quantities in mathematical, statistical, economic, or rhetorical contexts. Examples include tisícinásobný nárůst (a thousandfold increase) and tisícinásobný náskok (a thousandfold lead). Adverbial forms exist in formal writing, such as tisícnásobně, while tisíckrát remains a more common everyday alternative to express the same idea.

Etymology and morphology: tisícnásobný is a compound adjective built from tisíc and násobný, and it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. Related terms include násobný (multiplicative) and, for larger scales, milionásobný (millionfold) and miliardásobný (billionfold). The concept frequently appears in discussions of growth, scaling, or comparisons that involve a factor of one thousand.
