Datových

Datových is a grammatical form rather than a standalone noun in Czech. It is the genitive plural form of the adjective datový, which means data-related or data-based. The form datových appears whenever the adjective modifies a masculine or neuter noun in the genitive plural, commonly in contexts describing quantities or characteristics of data, such as data sets, data boxes, or data transfers.

Origin and usage: The adjective datový is derived from the noun data, which in Czech has been used to refer to pieces of information. Adjectival suffixes such as -ový yield forms like datový (masculine singular), datová (feminine singular), datové (neuter singular or plural forms depending on noun), and datových (genitive plural). In practice, datových is frequently encountered in phrases like velikost datových souborů (size of data files), počet datových schránek (number of data boxes), or objem datových přenosů (volume of data transfers).

Contexts and relevance: Datový and its inflections are common in information technology, data management, statistics, and related fields in Czech. They appear in documentation, policy texts, technical reports, and everyday language when discussing data-related concepts. The term helps distinguish data-centric attributes from other types of attributes and supports precise grammatical agreement in complex noun phrases.
