Súdni

Súdni is the masculine plural nominative form of the Slovak adjective súdny, meaning judicial or court-related. It is used to modify masculine plural nouns in the nominative case, typically in legal or official contexts. For example, súdni znalci refers to judicial experts, and súdni pracovníci to court staff.

In Slovak, adjectives decline according to gender and number. The basic form súdny is used for masculine singular nouns. In the masculine plural nominative, it becomes súdni. In other forms, the adjective declines as súdna for feminine singular, súdne for neuter singular, and súdnych for genitive plural, among other endings. This system allows sokratic agreement between adjectives and the nouns they modify within sentences.

Usage notes:

- súdni is mainly seen in formal or legal language, especially in compound noun phrases describing people or bodies connected with the judiciary.

- The word itself is not a standalone noun; it functions as an attributive adjective in phrases such as súdni znalci (judicial experts) or súdni úradníci (court officials).

- When inspecting texts in Slovak, the presence of súdni signals that the phrase relates to matters of the court or judiciary, with agreement continuing to follow standard Slovak grammar rules.
