Domáce

Domáce is an adjective used in Slovak and Czech to mean related to the home or produced at home. It describes things connected with domestic life, or items that are home-made rather than commercially produced. The sense can apply to homes, households, and everyday life, as well as to objects kept for domestic use or prepared at home.

Common uses include phrases such as domáce zvieratá, meaning domestic or domesticated animals; domáce potreby, referring to household goods or supplies; and domáce recepty, indicating recipes prepared at home. In Czech, the cognate form domácí is used with similar meanings, covering both domestic and homemade contexts.

Etymology and cognates: domáce comes from a Proto-Slavic root dom- meaning house. It has related forms in other Slavic languages, including Czech domácí, Polish domowy, and Russian домашний. These cognates share the core idea of belonging to the home or being produced within a domestic setting. The term is widely used in everyday speech as well as in more formal contexts to distinguish what is domestic or home-made from foreign or commercially produced alternatives.
