Rovnakú

Rovnakú is the feminine singular accusative form of the Slovak adjective rovnaký, meaning "the same" or "identical." It is used to modify a feminine singular noun in the accusative case, for example rovnakú vec (the same thing), rovnakú cenu (the same price), or rovnakú odpoveď (the same answer).

In Slovak, adjectives agree with the gender, number and case of the noun they modify. Rovnakú marks feminine, singular, accusative. The basic surrounding forms include rovnaký for masculine nominative singular, rovnaká for feminine nominative singular, and rovnaké for neuter singular or plural forms, with corresponding endings in other cases.

Rovnakú is used to express sameness or identity between items and appears in statements, questions and comparisons. It can occur in noun phrases describing the object of a verb or in clauses that compare items, e.g., "Má rovnakú verziu." Its usage is predominantly descriptive and contrasts with other forms of the adjective to indicate sameness with a feminine singular noun.

Etymology: derived from the Slavic root rov- meaning "equal," shared across related languages. The form rovnakú reflects standard Slovak inflection for feminine singular accusative adjectives.
