ztrátovými

Ztrátovými is a Czech adjective, the instrumental plural form of "ztrátový." It translates to "lossy" or "disadvantageous" in English. This term is most commonly encountered in contexts related to economics, finance, and data compression.

In economics and finance, "ztrátovými" describes entities or activities that are operating at a loss. For instance, a company might be referred to as "ztrátovými" if its expenses consistently exceed its revenues. This can also apply to specific projects or investments that are not generating sufficient returns. The instrumental case suggests the manner or means by which something is characterized or affected, so "ztrátovými" would indicate something being done by or in a manner of loss.

In the field of data compression, "ztrátovými" refers to lossy compression techniques. These methods reduce file size by discarding some data that is deemed less important or imperceptible to humans. While this results in a smaller file, there is a permanent loss of information, and the original data cannot be perfectly reconstructed. Examples include common image and audio compression formats. The adjective in the instrumental plural would describe the methods or processes themselves as being lossy.
