Azovském

Azovském is the locative singular form of the Czech adjective azovský, meaning “of or relating to Azov.” It is used in geographic and descriptive phrases referring to the Sea of Azov or the Azov region. In Czech adjectives decline by gender, number and case; the masculine singular locative ending is -ém, giving Azovském.

Common constructions include v Azovském moři (in the Sea of Azov), na Azovském pobřeží (on the Azov coast), or o Azovském regionu (about the Azov region). The term is typically applied to nouns denoting places, bodies of water, or regions associated with Azov.

Context and geography: The Sea of Azov lies between Ukraine to the north and Russia to the east and south, connected to the Black Sea by the Kerch Strait. The name Azov is used for the sea, the adjacent coast, and the surrounding region, and appears in historical, cultural, and contemporary geographic texts. The adjective azovský and its inflected forms (Azovský, Azovská, Azovské, Azovského, Azovském, etc.) occur in Czech descriptions of these areas.

Etymology: The form Azovském derives from the proper noun Azov, with standard Czech adjective inflection to yield the locative singular.
