Pozostávajúce

Pozostávajúce is a Slovak word that translates to "remaining" or "surviving" in English. It is often used in a context referring to people or things that are left behind after an event, such as a disaster, a conflict, or a period of change. The word can also denote something that endures or persists over time, even when other elements have disappeared.

In a literal sense, "pozostávajúce" might describe the remaining family members after a death, or the survivors of a shipwreck. It can also refer to the parts of a building that are still standing after demolition, or the remnants of a historical artifact. More abstractly, it can signify the lingering effects of a past experience, such as the remaining challenges after a societal reform or the residual emotions after a significant personal event.

The word carries a sense of continuity and often implies a struggle for existence or a testament to resilience. It is a common term in Slovak literature, historical accounts, and everyday conversation when discussing what is left in the wake of significant occurrences. Its meaning is inherently tied to the context in which it is used, highlighting what has endured against the odds or what has been left behind.
