vysokých

Vysokých is a Czech adjective form derived from vysoký, meaning high or tall. It is not a standalone noun; it is a declined form of the adjective used in specific grammatical cases.

In Czech, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in gender, number, and case. The form vysokých corresponds to the genitive plural and the locative plural. It appears with plural nouns in those cases. For example, ve vysokých horách means in the high mountains, and ve vysokých budovách means in the tall buildings.

Etymology traces vysokých to the base adjective vysoký, which comes from Proto-Slavic roots meaning “high.” It is cognate with related Slavic words such as Russian vysokiy, Polish wysoki, and Slovak vysoký, all sharing the same semantic core of height or elevation.

Usage notes: vysokých is used only as a grammatical form of the adjective and not as an independent noun. It commonly appears in descriptive phrases describing objects or places that are tall or elevated when those nouns are in the genitive or locative plural. Its exact spelling and pronunciation reflect the surrounding case and number, not a distinct lexical entry.
