Farmácií

Farmácií is the genitive plural form of the Slovak noun farmácia, meaning a pharmacy. It is used in sentences where “pharmacies” must be expressed in the genitive case, for instance after numbers or verbs that govern the genitive. It is not a separate field or concept, but a grammatical form.

The term farmácia itself is borrowed from Latin pharmacacia, via Greek pharmakon, meaning drug or remedy. The genitive plural form farmácií follows standard rules for feminine -ácia nouns in Slovak.

Common contexts include statistics, legal texts, and market analyses: for example, počet farmácií v okrese vzrástol, meaning the number of pharmacies in the district has risen.

Usage notes: farmácií appears in formal or written Slovak, particularly in contexts describing quantities, ownership, or relationships involving multiple pharmacies. In casual speech, speakers may use the nominative plural farmácie or restructure the phrase to avoid the genitive.
