vdeckými

Vdeckými is the ASCII (non-diacritic) form of the Czech adjective vědecký in its instrumental plural. It is used to describe plural nouns in the instrumental case, typically after prepositions such as s (with) or in predicates indicating the means by which something is done. The diacritic version, vědeckými, is standard in proper Czech orthography.

In Czech, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in gender, number and case. The instrumental plural form of vědecký is the same for masculine, feminine and neuter nouns, yielding vědeckými in the plural. Therefore, you can encounter phrases like s vědeckými metodami (with scientific methods), s vědeckými pracovníky (with scientific workers), or s vědeckými poznatky (with scientific findings), all written in non-diacritic form as vdeckými metodami, vdeckými pracovníky, and vdeckými poznatky respectively.

Etymology traces vědecký to věda, meaning science or knowledge, with the adjective denoting a relation to science. The instrumental plural ending -ými is typical for Czech adjectives in that case and number.

Usage notes: in formal or standard writing, the diacritic form vědeckými is preferred. The non-diacritic variant vdeckými appears in contexts where diacritics are omitted, such as older texts or certain digital environments, and remains easily understood by Czech readers as the same word.
