Kúpna

Kúpna is the feminine singular form of the Slovak adjective kúpny, used to denote something related to a purchase or buying. It appears in noun phrases where the head noun is of feminine gender, indicating characteristics, terms, or concepts pertaining to buying or sale.

In everyday and legal language, kúpna commonly appears in phrases such as kúpna zmluva and kúpna cena. Kúpna zmluva refers to a purchase or sale agreement, while kúpna cena means the purchase price of goods or property. The term is also found in expressions like kúpna sila, meaning purchasing power. In some contexts, Slovak speakers may prefer the alternative construction zmluva o kúpe (contract of purchase) or cena pri kúpe, but kúpna zmluva is widely understood and used.

grammatically, kúpny is the masculine form, kúpna is feminine, and kúpne is neuter. These forms agree with the noun they modify, for example, kúpna zmluva (feminine singular). The adjective governs word order and agreement in Slovak as in other adjectival phrases.

Usage notes: kúpna is a productive part of the vocabulary for commerce, law, and economics in Slovak. Although it is often paired with specific nouns such as zmluva or cena, it can also appear in other feminine-noun constructions that relate to purchase or buying. The base noun for the concept is kúpa (purchase). Cognates exist in related languages, reflecting the shared Slavic roots of purchase and buying terminology.
