Aktívnou

Aktívnou is a Slovak word that translates to "active" or "actively" in English. It is the instrumental feminine singular form of the adjective "aktívny" (active). This grammatical form is used when "active" modifies a feminine noun in the instrumental case. For example, in the sentence "pracovala aktívnou účasťou" (she worked with active participation), "aktívnou" describes "účasťou" (participation), which is a feminine noun in the instrumental case. The word itself is derived from the Latin word "activus," meaning energetic or effective. In Slovak grammar, understanding the correct case and gender agreement is crucial for using "aktívnou" accurately. The adverbial form, "aktívne," is used to describe verbs or other adverbs without regard to gender or case.
