Slovak declension

The Slovak language, like most Slavic languages and Latin, is an inflected language, meaning that the endings (and sometimes also the
stems) of most words (nouns, adjectives, pronouns and numerals) change depending on the given combination ofthe grammatical gender,
the grammatical number and the grammatical case of the particular word in the particular sentence:

a) Gender: There are four grammatical genders in Slovak language: animate masculine, inanimate masculine, feminine and neuter. In
popular description, the first two genders are often covered under common masculine gender. Almost all Slovak nouns and adjectives, as
well as some pronouns and numerals can be categorized into one of these genders. Exceptions are pluralia tantum (Vianoce - Christmas,
though there are rules for deriving the gender) and words that are drifting into other gender and are currently in the neuter (knieža -
Fürst), and masculine animals that are animate in singular and mostly inanimate in plural.

b) Number: Like in English, Slovak has singular and plural nouns. Morphological traces of the ancient Indo-European dual number
remain, but are not a separate grammar category anymore. A particular case is associated with three distinct groups of numerals
associated with nouns:

1 (one) - nominative case singular, for example jeden dub (one oak)
2, 3, 4 - nominative case plural, for example dva duby (two oaks)
0, 5 and more - genitive case plural, for example päť dubov (five [of] oaks)
c) Morphological cases:

the nominative case (N) = the subject; the basic form of the word; answers the question Who / What; for example father
(sg), fathers (pl)
the genitive case (G) =

(1) in English "of x" or "x's" ; answers the questions Of whom / Of what; for example father's (sg. ), fathers' (pl);
(2) is used after the prepositionsbez (without), blízko (near), do (to, into), doprostred (in(to) the middle of), mimo
(out(side) of), miesto (instead of), okolo (around), od (from), podľa (according to), pomimo (next to, around),
pomocou (by means of), pozdĺž (along), u (at), uprostred (in the middle of), vedľa (next to, adjacent to), vnútri (in,
inside of), vyše (above), z (out of, from), *za (behind)
the dative case (D) =

(1) in English "to x"; answers the question T o whom / To what; for example to the father (sg), to the fathers (pl);
(2) is used after the prepositionsk (to, towards), kvôli (because of), napriek (in spite of), naproti (facing, opposing),
oproti ((facing, opposing)), voči (facing, against)
the accusative case (A) =

(1) the direct object; answers the question Whom / What; for example [I see the] father (sg), fathers (pl);
(2) is used after the prepositions:cez(through), *medzi (between, among), *na (on, at), *nad (above), *po (after, for),
*o (about, on), *pod (under), pre (for, because of), *pred (before, in front of), *v (in, on), vzhľadom na (regarding,
concerning), *za (behind, for)
the locative case (L) = used after the prepositions*na (on), *po (after), *o (about, on), pri (at, next to), *v (in, on)
the instrumental case (I) =

(1) in English "by (means of) x"; answers the question By (means of) whom / By (means of) what; for example
[written] by the father;
(2) is used after the prepositions: *medzi (between, among), *nad (above), *pod, (under), *pred (before, in front of), s
(with), *za (behind, at the back of)
The (syntactic) vocative case (V) is not morphologically marked anymore in modern Slovak (unlike in modern Czech).
Today the (syntactic) vocative is realised by he t (morphological) nominative case, just like in English, German and many
other languages. However, the ancient vocative declensions have survived (mostly in conserved, archaic words or
language, e.g. in fairy tales, folklore, or in an ironic sense) in some words, some examples: syn (son) - V: synku, brat
(brother) - V: bratu, bratku), chlapec (boy, knave) - V:chlapče), švagor (brother-in-law) - V: švagre or N, kmotor
(godparent) - V:kmotre or N), chlap (man, male) - V: chlape, priateľ (friend) V: priateľu or N, pán (mister, lord) - V: pane
or N), majster (master artist) - V: majstre or N), boh (god) - V: bože, mama (mum, mother) - V: mamo, mami) and was
retrofitted (with the help of Czech influence) to some more words, likešéf (chief, boss) - V: šéfe. There is a dispute
among some Slovak linguists whether to include vocative into grammar categories but with declension (mostly) equal to
the nominative, or to unify it with nominative case category . The morphological vocative is used only for the above
restricted number of words and in addition only in some contexts (such as many dialects, which still use the vocative
case). Note however that there is no dispute that the syntactic vocative is present in Slovak. Slovak schools have been
teaching for at least 30 years that there is no grammar category of vocative anymore in use, however , the use of the
vocative case in the past is often mentioned. The Slovak Encyclopedia of Linguistics (1993) explicitly says: the vocative
is nowadays replaced by the nominative. However , the Slovak National Corpusexplicitly includes vocative as a separate
case in the morphological analysis and corpus tagset.
There is also a different form of morphological vocative emerging in spoken language, used with some familiar forms of personal names
(Paľo - Pali, Jano, Jana - Jani, Zuza - Zuzi) and familiar forms of kinship words, such as mama - mami (mum, mother), oco - oci (dad,
father), tata, tato - tati (dad, daddy), baba, babka - babi (gran, granny, grandmother). This usage is very similar to the "new Russian
vocative" (Маш', Петь', мам'), but it is not accepted into standardised codified language. This could have developed out of proper names
that were formed using the Hungarian diminutive suffix -i and that are used in spoken Slovak, and therefore is often homonymous with
nominative (semi-)diminutive forms of the names. Other possibility is influence of Czech (from common bllingual TV during
Czechoslovakia) where Jani/Zuzi as well as mami/tati/babi is part of Common Czech.

Legend
"ends in" in the following refers to the ending in the nominative singular (N sg), unless stated differently
Soft consonants are: all consonants with the diacritic mark ˇ (for example š, ľ) + c, dz, Hard
j. and neutral
consonants are all the remaining consonants
For masculine nouns, adjectives, pronouns and numerals it is necessary to distinguish between animate and
inanimate ones. An animate noun is a person (for example father , Peter) and an inanimate noun is any other noun (for
example table, fear, democracy). Animals are usually viewed as persons only in sg. For the animate nouns, the G is
identical with the A (both in sg. and in pl.), and for the inanimate nouns, the N is identical with the A (both in sg. and in
pl. ). Animate/Inanimate adjectives, pronouns and numerals are those referring to an animate/inanimate noun
respectively (for example in "my father" the "my" is animate, because father is animate).
sg = singular, pl = plural
N, G, D, A, L, I are abbreviations of grammatical cases (see above)
Nouns
For each gender, there are four basic declension paradigms (that is declension models).

Note that many nouns (especially those following the paradigm chlap) have different endings than those of the paradigms in one or
several grammatical cases. They are neither defined, nor listed in the following. The complete number of different paradigms for nouns is
somewhere about 200.

A very small number of foreign nouns arenot declined (that is the stem and ending never change).

The Masculine Gender

Animate Inanimate
Ends in anything except - Ends in a hard/neutral Ends in a soft
Ends in -a
a consonant consonant
sg. pl. sg. pl. sg. pl. sg. pl.
N chlap chlapi hrdina hrdinovia
dub duby stroj stroje
A
chlap-a chlap-ov hrdin-u hrdin-ov
G dub-a dub-ov stroj-a stroj-ov
D chlapom hrdinom dubu dubom stroju strojom
chlapovi hrdinovi
L chlapoch hrdinoch dube duboch stroji strojoch
I chlapom chlapmi hrdinom hrdinami dubom dubmi strojom strojmi

There is also a 5th paradigm for foreign nouns ending in .-i, -y, -e, -í, -é, -ě, -ä (for example pony, kuli, Tököli, Goethe, Krejčí, abbé,
Poupě) and foreign personal names ending in -ü, -ö (for example Jenö), which goes as follows:

Sg: N: pony, G: ponyho, D: ponymu, A: ponyho, L and I: ponym


Pl: like hrdina.
Masculine animal nouns are declined like chlap in the singular, but in plural usually like dub (if they end in a hard or neutral consonant)
or like stroj (otherwise)

Notes on chlap:

For the nouns ending in a vowel (for example-o, -u) the vowel is not part of the stem, but the ending in N sg: for
example dedo has G/D sg…deda/dedovi etc. (not dedoa/dedoovi etc. ).
many nouns lose an e/o/i from the stem in all cases except N sg(for example vrabec - vrabca);
in some short nouns, the -e- changes its position in all cases except N sg (for example žnec - ženca)
some nouns ending in -k / -ch change the k / ch in c / s in N pl, for example žiak - žiaci
most Latin and Greek nouns in -us, -as, -es, -os lose the us / as / es / os in all cases except N sg (for example génius -
génia; but for example fiškus - fiškusa)
Notes on hrdina: -

Notes on dub:

many nouns lose an e/ o / i / í /ie/ á from the stem in all cases except N sg and A sg (for example výmysel - výmysla,
chrbát - chrbta, ohníček - ohníčka, dnešok - dneška, ocot - octa )
some Greek and Latin nouns in -us, -es, -os lose the us / es / os in all cases except N sg and A sg (e.g. komunizmus -
komunizmu; but e.g. autobus - autobusu, cirkus - cirkusu)
some Slovak words lose the acute or the i/u from a diphthong in all cases except N sg and Asg :, for example mráz -
mraza, chlieb - chleba, vietor - vetra (here at the same time loss of o), stôl - stola, bôr - bora
in G pl, some nouns change the a/e/i/o/u (without an acute or a preceding i) in the stem to á/é/í/ó/ú (raz - ráz,ojany
V -
Voján, Krompachy - Krompách) or in some cases to ia/ie/iu/ô (for example čas -čias, Margecany - Margecian, Žabokreky
- Žabokriek), unless the preceding syllable in the stem already contains a vowel with an acute or a diphthong (for
example Hájniky - Hájnik)
in L sg, nouns ending in g/k/h have -u rather than -e
Notes on stroj:

many nouns lose the e/ o / i / í /ie/ á in all cases except N sg andA sg (for example marec - marca, delenec- delenca,
veniec- venca, deň- dňa, stupeň - stupňa, lakeť - lakťa )
some nouns lose the acute or the i/u from a diphthong in all cases except N sg and Asg :, for example dážď - dažďa,
nôž - noža
in G pl, geographical names in pl. (plurale tantum) change the a/e/i/o/u (without an acute or a preceding i) in the stem to
á/é/í/ó/ú (for example Tlmače - Tlmáč) or in some cases to ia/ie/iu/ô(for example Ladce - Ladiec) in the G pl, unless the
preceding syllable in the stem already contains an acute or a diphthong

The Feminine Gender

Ends in -soft consonant + Ends in a consonant


Ends in hard/neutral a other than for kosť (next Ends in -c /s / p /
consonant + a (or in -ia / -ya) v / sť
column).

sg. pl. sg. pl. sg. pl. sg. pl.


N žena ulica
ženy ulice dlaň dlane kosť kosti
A ženu ulicu
G ženy žien ulice ulíc dlane dlaní kostí
D ženám uliciam dlaniam kosti kostiam
žene ulici dlani
L ženách uliciach dlaniach kostiach
I ženou ženami ulicou ulicami dlaňou dlaňami kosťou kosťami

There is also a 5th paradigm for feminine nouns ending in -ná or -ovná (for example princezná), where the singular and N pl and A pl
are like pekná (see under adjectives) and the remaining plural is like žena. In the G pl, there are changes in the stem: if the noun ends in -
vowel + ná, then this vowel receives an acute (for example švagriná - švagrín), but otherwise an -ie- is inserted (for example princezná -
princezien).

There is also a 6th paradigm for the feminine nouns ending in -ea (idea, Kórea), which goes like žena, except that D sg and Lsg are idei,
and G pl is ideí without change in the stem.

Notes on žena:

The following nouns are declined like ulica instead of žena: večera, rozopra, konopa, Hybe and (the plurale tantum)
dvere
In the G pl of some nouns, an ie/ e / o / á / ô is inserted in the last syllable of the stem (for example hra - hier , čipka -
čipiek /čipôk, karta - kariet /karát, kvapka - kvapiek / kvapák /kvapôk, vojna - vojen, látka - látok)
In the G pl of some nouns, in the last syllable of the stem the a / i / y / u / ä / e / o /syllabic r / syllabic(without
l an acute
or a preceding i) is changed into á (or ia) / í / ý / ú /ia / ie / ô/ ŕ/ ĺ respectively (sila - síl, skala - skál, chyba - chýb, ruka -
rúk, fakulta - fakúlt, päta - piat, slza - sĺz, črta-čŕt, brzda - bŕzd, slza-sĺz)
Notes on ulica:

In the G pl of some nouns,an ie is inserted (for example jedľa - jedieľ, sukňa - sukieň)
In the G pl of some nouns, in the last syllable of the stem the a / i / y / u / e / o /syllabic(without
r an acute or a
preceding i) is changed into á (or ia)/ í / ý / ú /ie / ô/ ŕ respectively (for example ulica - ulíc, sudkyňa -sudkýň, Krkonoše,
Krkonôš, košeľa - košieľ, guľa - gúľ, hoľa - hôľ, fľaša - fliaš
Notes on dlaň:

The following nouns are declined like dlaň, not like kosť: obec, päsť, čeľusť.
The following feminine nouns are not declined like dlaň, but like kosť:jar, zver, chuť, ortuť, pamäť, smrť, pleť, sneť,
rukoväť, smeť, púť, spleť, svojeť, reč, seč, meď, soľ, hluš, myš, voš, lož, bel, Sereď, Sibír, Budapešť, Bukurešť, Lešť
and a few other nouns. The words myseľ, chuť, raž, tvár , hneď can be declined like dlaň or like kosť in the singular
, but
only like dlaň in the plural. The word hrsť is declined like dlaň in the singular
, but like kosť in the plural. The word pamäť
is declined like kosť when it refers to human memory , but like dlaň when it refers to computer memory .[1]
most nouns in -eň lose the ein all cases except N sg and A sg(for example úroveň - úrovne)
Notes on kosť:

see the first two notes under dlaň


some nouns lose the e / o in all cases except N sg and A sg(for example ves - vsi, lož - lži, cirkev-cirkvi)

The Neuter Gender

Ends in - e
Ends in - o Ends in - ie Ends in - a or -ä

D mestu mestám srdcu srdciam vysvedčeniu vysvedčeniam dievčaťu dievčatám/dievčencom
L meste mestách srdci srdciach vysvedčení vysvedčeniach dievčati dievčatách/dievčencoch
I mestom mestami srdcom srdcami vysvedčením vysvedčeniami dievčaťom dievčatami/dievčencami

For (any) neuter nouns ending in -vowel+um/on (for example štúdium, ganglion) there is actually a 5th paradigm (štúdium), which is
declined like mesto except that the -um- / -on- is omitted in all cases except N sg and A sg., L sg ends in -u (štúdiu), and G pl in -í
(štúdií).

Notes on mesto:

Latin and Greek neuter nouns ending in -consonant +um/on (for example fórum, epiteton) are declined like mesto,
except that the -um- / -on- is omitted in all cases except N sg and A sg (for example N sg and A sg: publikum, G sg:
publika, D sg: publiku etc. )
in the G pl of some nouns, an ie/ e / o / á /(rarely é) is inserted in the last syllable of the stem (for example clo-ciel,
mydlo-mydiel, zvieratko-zvieratiek, jedlo - jedál, vrecko-vrecák/vreciek, vlákno - vláken / vlákien, číslo - čísel / čísiel,
lajno - lajen, lýtko - lýtok, teliesko - teliesok
in the G pl of some nouns, in the last syllable of the stem the a / i / y / u / ä / e / o /syllabic r / syllabic(without
l an acute
or a preceding i) is changed into á / í / ý / ú /ia / ie / ô/ ŕ/ ĺ respectively (kladivo - kladív
, zrno - zŕn)
Notes on srdce:

In the G pl of some nouns, an ie/e is inserted in the last syllable of the stem. (for example citoslovce-citosloviec, okience
- okienec, vajce - vajec)
In the G pl of some nouns, in the last syllable of the stem the a / i / y / u / ä / e / o /syllabic r / syllabic(without
l an acute
or a preceding i) is changed into á / í / ý / ú /ia / ie / ô/ ŕ/ ĺ respectively (plece-pliec, srdce-sŕdc, slnce-sĺnc).
Notes on vysvedčenie:-

Notes on dievča:

The -a- at the beginning of all endings is replaced by ä in nouns, where a p/b/m/f/v precedes the a (for example žriebä -
žriebäťa - žriebäťu… ).
Most nouns can take both the -at- endings and the -enc- endings in the plural (for example dievča, húsa, bábä), some
nouns however take only the -at- endings (for example knieža, zviera, mláďa) and some nouns only the -enc- endings
(for example kura). The following nouns do not take the -en- in the alternative plural endingsprasa
: (- prasatá / prasce -
prasiat / prasiec), teľa, šteňa.

Adjectives

Paradigms

Pekný
This paradigm is used for adjectives ending in -a hard or neutral consonant + ý [in the masculine gender]

Singular Plural
Masculine Neuter Feminine Masc. animate Others
N pekný pekná pekní pekné
pekné
A pekný (animate: pekného) peknú pekných pekné
G pekného pekných
D peknému peknej pekným
L peknom pekných
I pekným peknou peknými

Cudzí
This paradigm is used for adjectives ending in -a soft consonant + í [in the masculine gender] (including the comparative and superlative,
see below )

Forms: They are like withpekný, but within the endings(that is in what follows after pekn-) always replace ý by í, é by ie, á by ia, and ú
by iu., e.g.: pekný - cudzí, pekné(ho) - cudzie(ho), pekný(m) - cudzí(m), pekná - cudzia, peknú - cudziu.

Otcov
This paradigm is used for adjectives ending in -ov / -in, for example otcov ("father's"), matkin ("mother's"). All of them are possessive
adjectives (adjectives in -ov for masculine persons, adjectives in -in for feminine persons).

Singular Plural
Masculine Neuter Feminine Masc. animate Others
N otcov otcova otcovi
otcovo otcove
A otcov (animate: otcovho) otcovu otcových
G otcovho otcovej otcových
D otcovmu otcovej otcovým
L otcovom otcovej otcových
I otcovým otcovou otcovými

The Comparative and Superlative


The comparative is formed by replacing the adjective ending -ý/y/i/í by-ejší or -ší. There are exact rules for the choice between these two
endings and there are several irregular comparatives. Examples:

Regular: hrozný - hroznejší, bohatý - bohatší …


Irregular: veľký - väčší, malý - menší, dobrý - lepší, zlý - horší, pekný - krajší, čierny - černejší,
blízky-bližší, ďaleký - ďalší, hlboký - hlbší …

The comparative forms are declined like cudzí.

The superlative (that is biggest, most difficult etc.) is formed as follows: naj+comparative. Examples: pekný - krajší - najkrajší, hrozný-
hroznejší - najhroznejší …

The comparative and superlative of adverbs (which, by the way, end in -o, -e or -y in the basic form) is formed by simply replacing the -
(ej)ší from the adjective by -(ej)šie (for example: pekne - krajšie - najkrajšie, hrozne - hroznejšie - najhroznejšie, teplo - teplejšie -
najteplejšie, pomaly - pomalšie - najpomalšie)

when emphasized, especially always at the beginning of the sentence (for exampleidíš V len seba., Teba vidím. )
the forms jeho, jemu in G, D and A are used when emphasized, especially always at the beginning of the sentence (for
example Vidím jeho. Jeho vidím = It is him that I see)
the forms in n- (that is neho, nemu, nej, ňu, nich, nim, ne) are used after prepositions (for example pre neho (masc. ));
the forms -ňho (or -ň), -ňmu, -ň can be used alternatively after the prepositions do, pre, na, za, o, po, do, u (for example
pre neho (masc. ) = preňho = preň); the special form -eň can be used alternatively (for neuter nouns obligatorily) after
