Transientná

Transientná is the feminine singular form of the Slovak adjective transientný, used to describe something temporary or short‑lived. It appears in technical, scientific, and formal prose where a feminine noun requires agreement with the adjective.

Origin and form: The root transient- is borrowed from Latin transient-, and has been integrated into Slovak vocabulary through European languages. In Slovak, adjectives that end with -ný in masculine singular form have feminine singular nominative endings of -ná, so the feminine form is transientná. The corresponding neuter form is transientné and the masculine form is transientný.

Usage: Transientná is common in discussions of transient phenomena, states, or events in physics, engineering, computer science, and related fields. Examples include transientná udalosť (a transient event), transientná fáza (a transient phase), and transientné napätie (transient voltage). In broader language, the word can describe anything temporary or short‑term when paired with a feminine noun.
