Kovového

Kovového is the genitive singular form of the Czech adjective kovový, which means metal-related or made of metal. It is used when describing a noun that is in the genitive case, typically to indicate material composition or surface properties.

Form and usage: The base form kovový declines like other Czech adjectives. In the genitive singular masculine or neuter, the form is kovového; in feminine it is kovové. This form appears in phrases such as povrch kovového předmětu (the surface of a metal object) or barva kovového materiálu (the color of metal material). The word is common in technical, architectural, design, and everyday language, and it conveys a sense of metallic content or appearance.

Etymology: Kovový derives from kov, meaning metal, with the adjectival suffix -ový to express material or characteristic. The construction is part of standard Czech adjective morphology and shares parallels with related terms like ocelový (steel) or železný (iron).

Notes: Kovového is not a standalone noun; it functions as an inflected adjective form. Its use helps specify that an object or attribute relates to metal rather than other substances, colors, or textures. The word is used in Czech and, in similar forms, in Slovak, reflecting shared linguistic roots.
