Modelovou

Modelovou is a Czech adjective form derived from the root modelový, meaning model or patterned. It is not a separate lexical entry but a specific inflected form used to modify feminine nouns. In context, it conveys the sense of “model-” or “as a model” depending on how the noun is used.

In Czech, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. The feminine singular form modelovou appears primarily in two cases: the accusative singular and the instrumental singular. This means it can appear before feminine nouns in those cases, such as modelovou ženu (a model woman in the accusative) or modelovou variantou (as a model variant in the instrumental).

Examples illustrate its usage. Viděl jsem modelovou ženu v katalogu. (I saw a model woman in the catalog.) Navrhli jsme to jako modelovou variantou. (We designed it as a model variant.) These instances show how modelovou functions as the feminine form of modelový in context.

Etymology-wise, modelovou traces back to the noun model, with modelový serving as the adjective form that means “model-related” or “model-type.” The -ovou ending marks the feminine singular form in the relevant cases. Because it is a morphological inflection rather than a standalone word, modelovou’s meaning derives from the noun it modifies and the syntactic role it plays in the sentence. It is commonly encountered in marketing, design, product descriptions, and similar contexts where a “model” version or example is being described.
