Párovou

Párovou is a Czech inflected form of the adjective párový, which means related to a pair or paired items. The word itself is not a standalone entry in common dictionaries but a grammatical form used before feminine nouns.

In Czech, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. Párovou is the feminine singular accusative or instrumental form. It appears before a feminine noun to indicate pairing or dual arrangement. For example, párovou jednotkou would be “a paired unit” in the accusative, and s párovou metodou would be “with a paired method” in the instrumental.

Usage notes: párovou describes things conceived as existing in pairs or designed to function in pairs. It is commonly found in technical, scientific, or descriptive text when emphasizing paired structures, processes, or systems, such as párové orgány (paired organs) or párovou strukturou (with a paired structure). As a form of an adjective, its exact ending depends on the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies.

Relation to other forms: the masculine nominative form is párový, the feminine nominative is párová, and the neuter form is párové. The feminine accusative/instrumental form párovou is thus one of several inflections used to create phrases that describe paired characteristics.

Cultural and lexical notes: párovou is primarily a grammatical form used in standard Czech; it is distinct from any surname forms (for example Párovová is a common feminine surname) and should not be confused with unrelated proper names.
