Európska

Európska is the feminine singular form of the Slovak adjective európsky, meaning European. It denotes relation to Europe or to the European Union and is used broadly in Slovak to form official names and descriptive phrases connected with Europe. The form follows standard Slovak adjective inflection, and it is capitalized when it is part of a formal proper name.

In practice, Európska appears in the titles of many European institutions and treaties. For example, Európska únia is the European Union, Európska rada is the European Council, and Európska komisia is the European Commission. Other common pairs include Európsky parlament (European Parliament), where the masculine form európsky is used with a masculine noun, and Zmluva o fungovaní Európskej únie (Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union), where Európskej únie is the feminine genitive form of the EU. The adjective also appears in phrases such as európske právo (European law) and európske politiky (European policies), illustrating its role as a general descriptor for European matters.

Európska is not a standalone institution; rather, it functions as a descriptive element within many official names and terms. Its usage reflects standard Slovak conventions for forming adjectives that modify nouns related to Europe and the European Union, with capitalization typical in formal names and lowercase in ordinary descriptive contexts.
