Poriadkové

Poriadkové is a Slovak adjective meaning relating to order or to the maintenance of public order. It is used to describe objects, services, or units that are tasked with keeping order in a given setting. Common compounds include poriadkové sily, meaning units responsible for public-order duties (often translated as crowd-control or riot police in some contexts), poriadkové služby for order-keeping services, and poriadková polícia or poriadková jednotka for specialized order units.

Etymology: the word derives from poriadok, meaning order, with the adjectival suffix -kové. It has cognates in Czech (pořádkový) and Polish (porządkowy). The form of the adjective agrees with the noun it modifies, reflecting standard Slovak declension.

Usage: The term is typical in formal, legal, or security-related language to describe functions, structures, or roles dedicated to public order. In everyday speech, it is less common and other words for tidiness or organization may be used instead.
