Elektrickou

Elektrickou is a declined form of the Czech adjective elektrický, meaning electric. It is not a standalone noun, but a grammatical form used to modify feminine nouns in certain cases. In Czech, adjectives agree with nouns in gender, number, and case; elektrickou appears in the feminine singular for accusative and instrumental cases.

Common uses include phrases such as "koupil jsem elektrickou troubu" (I bought an electric oven), where trouba is a feminine noun in the accusative singular. Another example is "pracuje s elektrickou zásuvkou" (he works with an electric socket), where zásuvka is feminine and in the instrumental singular after the preposition s. A further instance is "electric guitar" used as "elektrickou kytaru" in the accusative singular, as in "půjčil si elektrickou kytaru" (he borrowed an electric guitar).

The form highlights the gender and case of the modified noun rather than changing the meaning of the noun itself. Elektrickou contrasts with other feminine forms such as nominative elektrická (the electric…) and with masculine or neuter variants like elektrický and elektrické, which appear with different nouns. Understanding elektrickou helps in constructing correct, natural-sounding Czech phrases involving feminine nouns related to electricity or electronics.

Etymology traces elektrickou to the root elektrický, which derives from the concept of electricity, itself rooted in the Greek elektron. The word operates within the standard Czech system of adjective declension, and its specific form depends on the noun it describes as well as the grammatical case.
