Nápojovém

Nápojovém is a Czech grammatical form, specifically the locative singular of the adjective nápojový, which means related to beverages. The form is used to modify masculine or neuter nouns in places or contexts introduced by prepositions such as v (in), na (on), or o (about). It signals a connection to drinks, the beverage industry, or beverage-related activities rather than to drinks themselves.

In practice, nápojovém appears in phrases describing locations or contexts. Examples include v nápojovém průmyslu (in the beverage industry), v nápojovém odvětví, or v nápojovém lístku (in the beverage menu). It can also occur with nouns referring to equipment or services, such as v nápojovém automatu (in a beverage vending machine) or v nápojovém segmentu. The form contrasts with nápojová (feminine) and nápojové (plural or neuter in other cases), which are used with corresponding gender and number.

Etymology and usage notes: nápojový derives from the noun nápoj (beverage) with the adjectival suffix -ový. Like other Czech adjectives, its endings change to reflect gender, number, and case. The locative nápojovém is primarily encountered in formal or technical language—industry reports, menus, product descriptions, and academic or policy texts—where precise reference to beverage-related contexts is required.
