Stránka

Stránka is a Czech noun that denotes a single page of a printed document, such as a leaf in a book, a page in a magazine or notebook, or a page within any file. In everyday use it refers to a specific location of information within a document or on a screen. The plural form is stránky, and the genitive is stránek. In modern language, the word also describes a single web page as part of a website, commonly expressed as webová stránka or simply stránka on the Internet.

Etymology and meaning development: Stránka derives from the root strana, meaning side or part, with the suffix -ka forming a concrete noun. The sense of page arises from the idea of a sheet having two sides, each serving as a distinct page in a sequence.

Usage: In print, phrases such as na první stránce (on the first page) or prolistovat stránky (to flip through pages) are common. In digital contexts, stránka can refer to a specific page within a site or document, and stránkování denotes pagination or navigating between pages.
