Valná

Valná is the feminine form of the Czech and Slovak adjective valný, used to denote significance, fullness, or weightiness. It normally appears only as part of compound nouns such as valná hromada or valné zhromaždenie, describing the event as the major or official meeting of an organization.

In Czech, valná hromada is the general meeting of a company or association and serves as the supreme decision‑making body, with authority to approve statutes, appoint boards, and approve financial statements, subject to statutory rules. It is summoned according to the organization's articles and relevant law; decisions typically require a majority or a specified majority.

In Slovak, the equivalent term is valné zhromaždenie; the neuter noun zhromaždenie combines with the form valné. It functions similarly as the general meeting for organizations, with decisions typically taken by majority or as required by law.

Etymology and usage notes: valná is the feminine singular form of valný, and its usage is predominantly formal and institutional. The term is not a standalone noun but a descriptor that appears in established phrases referring to official, collective decision-making gatherings.
