Prekomernega

Prekomernega is a Slovenian adjective form meaning excessive or superfluous. It is the genitive singular form of the adjective prekomeren when used with masculine or neuter nouns.

In Slovenian, adjectives decline for gender, number, and case. The feminine genitive singular of prekomeren is prekomerne, while the masculine and neuter genitive singular form is prekomernega. Therefore prekomernega commonly appears before masculine or neuter nouns in the genitive case, often to indicate an excess in amount, degree, or quantity.

Common uses include phrases such as prekomernega števila ljudi (an excessive number of people) and prekomerne porabe energije (excess energy consumption). In these constructions, the noun that follows may itself appear in genitive or be part of a larger noun phrase, with the adjective agreeing in gender and case accordingly.

Usage notes indicate that prekomernega is a formal, written-register inflection. It contrasts with the other inflected forms of the same base adjective: prekomerna (nominative feminine), prekomerno (nominative neuter), and the base form prekomeren (nominative masculine). The term is typically employed in descriptive, analytical, or policy-related Slovenian, rather than in everyday speech where simpler expressions for excess might be preferred.
