Tabulka

Tabulka is a common noun in Czech and Slovak that translates to table, chart, or card. It is formed as a diminutive from tabula, the Latin word for a flat piece or sheet, and the suffix -ka to indicate a smaller or simpler version. The term is used across contexts to denote tabular data or a small display surface.

In education and everyday language, a tabulka can refer to a small sheet of paper used for notes, flashcards, or a short data table. In mathematics and statistics, it denotes a table listing values in rows and columns. In computing and information technology, tabulka describes a data table, a grid in user interfaces, or a worksheet.

In sports journalism and league reporting, tabulka is the standard term for standings or rankings, e.g., tabulka výsledků or tabulka ligy. In publishing and research, tabulka can name charts, schedules, or tabulated data sections within a document.

Beyond Czech and Slovak, the concept of tabulka reflects the shared Latin root tabula across some Slavic and related languages, underscoring its broad usage to denote organized, tabular information.

In English-language contexts, the term tabulka is typically translated as table or data table, with the native term used in glossaries, translations, or region-specific documentation.
