Podkladovou

Podkladovou is a Czech adjective form used with feminine nouns to express that something relates to a base, foundation, or substrate. It is derived from podkladový and is not a standalone noun; its meaning depends on the noun it modifies.

Grammatically, podkladovou is the feminine singular instrumental and accusative form of podkladový. The corresponding nominative feminine singular form is podkladová, and other cases have their own endings. This form appears whenever the action requires the feminine noun to be in the accusative or instrumental case, for example after prepositions or verbs governing those cases.

Common usage occurs in technical and everyday language to describe base or supporting elements. Examples:

- podkladová deska (base board or foundation plate) — nominative feminine singular

- podkladovou deskou — instrumental singular, with, for example, “přikryjte podkladovou deskou” (cover with the base board)

- podkladovou desku — accusative singular, e.g., “vložit podkladovou desku” (insert the base board)

- podkladová vrstva — base layer

- podkladovou vrstvou — instrumental singular, e.g., “nanést podkladovou vrstvou” (apply with a base layer)

Etymology and related forms:

Podkladovou comes from podklad, meaning base, substrate, or underlying layer, combined with the adjective suffix -ový to form podkladový, whose feminine singular forms yield podkladová (nominative) and podkladovou (accusative/instrumental).

See also:

- podklad (base, substrate)

- podkladový a podkladová as gendered adjective forms

- related terms such as základ, substrát, and vrstva (layers)

Podkladovou is thus a grammatical form used to describe feminine nouns in contexts where a base or foundation is being referenced, rather than a standalone concept.
