vzdálených

Vzdálených is a form of the Czech adjective vzdálený, meaning distant or remote. In everyday language it describes something that is not near in space or time, and it can also be used metaphorically to denote abstraction or remoteness in relation to ideas, events, or relationships. The word is commonly found in scientific, geographical, and literary texts, as well as in ordinary descriptions of locations or periods.

Etymology and related forms: vzdálený derives from the Czech root dál (far) with the prefix v- and the adjectival suffix -ný; it is closely linked to the noun vzdálenost (distance). The form vzdálených is the genitive plural form of vzdálený, used when the noun it modifies is in the genitive plural or when the phrase requires that case agreement. Other declined forms include vzdálený (masculine singular), vzdálená (feminine singular), vzdálené (neuter or feminine plural, depending on noun), and vzdálení (masculine animate plural nominative).

Usage notes: vzdálených appears most often in phrases describing multiple distant objects or places, for example ve vzdálených místech or vzdálených planetách. It can also convey temporal distance, such as vzdálené časy. The term coexists with synonyms like vzdálený, daleký, a vzdálenější, and with the noun vzdálenost to discuss the concept of distance rather than the quality of being distant.
