Taylorovu

Taylorovu is a Czech inflected form derived from the English given name Taylor, used to express possession in Czech sentences. It is not a standalone proper noun; rather, it functions as part of a possessive construction that shows something belongs to someone named Taylor. In Czech, possessive adjectives formed from proper names agree with the gender and case of the noun they modify, so various forms exist (for example Taylorův, Taylorova, Taylorovou) depending on the grammatical context.

Common usage examples illustrate its function. Taylorova píseň means “Taylor’s song” in the nominative and is used when the possessed noun is feminine. Taylorovou píseň serves as the same possessive phrase in the accusative case, as in Viděl Taylorovou píseň (“He saw Taylor’s song”). Similarly, Taylorův dům means “Taylor’s house” in the nominative, while Taylorův dům can appear in other cases where the possessed noun requires a masculine form. The form Taylorovu appears in contexts such as the accusative singular with masculine nouns, for example Taylorovu dům as the object of a verb.

Historical and linguistic notes indicate that the use of English-name possessives in Czech has become more common with globalization and media translation, though it remains a grammatical device rather than a distinctive entity.
