zákonem

"Zákonem" is the instrumental singular form of the Czech word "zákon," which translates to "law" in English. In Czech grammar, the instrumental case is used to indicate the means by which an action is performed, the instrument used, or the accompaniment. Therefore, "zákonem" would be used in a sentence to signify "by law," "through law," or "with the law."

For instance, a sentence might read: "Věci se řídí zákonem." This translates to "Things are governed by law." Here, "zákonem" denotes the means or authority by which these matters are regulated. Another example could be: "Pochopil to zákonem logiky." This means "He understood it through the law of logic." In this context, "zákonem" refers to the principle or system being used for comprehension.

The use of "zákonem" is crucial for conveying the precise grammatical relationship within a Czech sentence, particularly when discussing legal frameworks, principles, or abstract concepts that operate under established rules or laws. It's a common inflection encountered in various contexts, from legal documents to philosophical discussions.
