Severozahodne

Severozahodne is a directional term used in some Slavic-language contexts to denote the northwestern part of a region, country, or feature. It functions as an adjective describing location relative to the north and the west. In standard orthography, Czech and Slovak have distinct forms for the corresponding adjective, reflecting gender and number. In Czech the common forms are severozápadní (masculine), severozápadná (feminine), and severozápadné (neuter/plural); in Slovak the forms are severozápadný (masculine), severozápadná (feminine), and severozápadné (neuter/plural). The general meaning is “northwestern.”

The term is typically used in geography, cartography, regional planning, and toponymy to describe areas such as the northwestern part of a country or region. For example, one might refer to the “severozápadní Čechy” (northwestern Bohemia) or “severozápadné Slovensko” (northwestern Slovakia) when outlining regional characteristics, infrastructure, or climate patterns. It is also encountered in descriptions of cities or landscapes that lie to the northwest within a larger territory.

Note that severozahodne as a stand-alone form is not standard in Czech or Slovak orthography; the conventional spellings align with severozápadné/severozápadné (depending on the language and gender). The underlying morphemes come from sever (north) and západ (west), with adjectival suffixes indicating agreement with a noun.
