Domáca

Domáca is a Slovak feminine singular adjective meaning domestic or home-related. It is the feminine form of the base adjective domáci (masculine) or domáce (neuter), and it agrees with the gender of the noun it modifies. The term is used broadly in everyday language to describe things connected with the home, household activities, or tasks performed at home.

Common uses include phrases such as domáca práca and domáca úloha, referring to housework or homework; domáce zviera, meaning a pet; and domáca starostlivosť, used in contexts of home care or family care. A maker-oriented sense appears in domáca výroba, indicating homemade or domestically produced items. The form also appears in expressions for household goods, for example domáce potreby or domáce kosmetika, where the adjective describes products intended for home use.

Grammatical note: domáca is the feminine singular form and is one of several inflected forms of the same root, which also yields domáci (masculine) and domáce (neuter and plural). In other West Slavic languages, cognate forms with similar meanings exist, such as domácí in Czech, which share the same semantic field of home-related or domestic.

In linguistic and practical terms, domáca functions primarily as an adjective, though it can appear in compound or fixed phrases that function as a single unit of meaning. It does not constitute a standalone noun in standard usage. See also related forms domáci, domáce, and phrases like domáca úloha, domáca práca, and domáce zviera.
