Písomnom

Písomnom is the locative singular form of the Slovak adjective písomný, meaning "written." It is used with masculine or neuter nouns to express the sense of “in written form” or “in the written version.” It is not a standalone lexical item but a grammatical variant that appears in formal or administrative language.

In common usage, písomnom occurs in fixed phrases such as v písomnom vyhotovení (in written form / as a written version) or v písomnom znení (in written wording). The form often appears in contracts, official documents, and regulatory texts to indicate that information is provided or stored in writing rather than orally.

Morphology and examples: in the locative case, masculine and neuter singular take písomnom, feminine singular takes písomnej, and all plural genders take písomných. For instance: v písomnom vyhotovení, v písomnom znení, or v písomných vyhotovaniach. These patterns reflect Slovak agreement rules for adjectives in the locative case.

Usage notes: písomnom is predominantly found in formal contexts such as legal documents, administrative correspondence, and procedures where the distinction between written and oral forms is relevant. Its use helps specify the medium or form of information, ensuring clarity in documentation and communication.
