Dlhotrvajúcich

Dlhotrvajúcich is a Slovak adjective meaning "long-lasting," "prolonged," or "enduring." It is used to describe situations, effects, conditions, or objects that persist for an extended period.

The word is formed from the verb "trvať" (to last) and the prefix "dlho-" (long). It can be applied in various contexts. For example, one might speak of dlhotrvajúcich účinkov (long-lasting effects) of a medication or a decision. A dlhotrvajúci problém (a prolonged problem) refers to an issue that has been present for a considerable time. Similarly, a dlhotrvajúci smútok (enduring sadness) indicates a period of grief that lasts a long time.

In a more physical sense, it can describe dlhotrvajúca búrka (a prolonged storm) or dlhotrvajúca práca (a long-lasting job or task). The adjective emphasizes the duration and persistence of the subject it modifies. Understanding its meaning is crucial for comprehending Slovak sentences where continuity or extended time is a key element.
