Nákupní

Nákupní is an adjective used in Czech (and also found in Slovak as nákupný) that derives from the noun nákup, meaning purchase or shopping. It designates things that are related to shopping, purchasing, or retail. The term is primarily used in compound nouns and fixed phrases.

Common usages include nákupní seznam (shopping list), nákupní košík (shopping cart), nákupní centrum or nákupní centra (shopping center(s)), and nákupní zóna (shopping zone). In marketing and consumer studies, nákupní is found in phrases such as nákupní chování (buying behavior), nákupní preference (purchase preferences), and nákupní ceny (purchase prices). The adjective indicates relation to shopping activities rather than to the act of buying in a general sense.

Grammatically, nákupní is a participial adjective that agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case, for example nákupní seznam, nákupní cena, nákupní košík. In feminine nouns it follows standard Czech adjective agreement, and it does not change form for the neuter in many common compounds, where the head noun drives the agreement.

Etymology traces nákupní to the Czech noun nákup, meaning a purchase or act of shopping. The term is widely used in everyday language as well as in business, retail, and academic contexts to denote aspects related to shopping and consumer activity.
