vzájemného

Vzájemného is the genitive singular form of the Czech adjective vzájemný, meaning mutual or reciprocal. The word signals reciprocity or a relationship in which two or more parties affect each other. It is commonly used in both everyday language and formal writing to describe interactions, obligations, or attitudes that are shared between participants.

In Czech, vzájemný is declined like a standard adjective, and vzájemného appears in the genitive singular for masculine and neuter nouns. Feminine forms differ by case, so vzájemného is not used for feminine nouns in the genitive. The term is closely related to related words such as vzájemnost (mutuality, reciprocity) and vzájemně (mutually), which reflect the same semantic field.

Usage and examples include phrases such as vzájemného porozumění (mutual understanding) or vzájemného respektu (mutual respect). For instance, a typical sentence is: Partneři si váží vzájemného porozumění. This construction demonstrates how vzájemného links a noun in the genitive to express a reciprocal quality between subjects.

Etymology traces vzájemný to the Czech root vzájem, connected with the noun vzájemnost (reciprocity) and the suffix -ný that forms adjectives. The term is widely understood in Czech-language contexts and appears across academic, legal, and media texts to describe reciprocal or mutual relationships.
