Vedeckých

Vedeckých is the genitive plural form of the Slovak adjective vedecký, meaning “scientific” or “academic.” It is a grammatical form used to modify nouns in genitive plural, typically in phrases that express “of scientific …” or relate something to science. In everyday and formal writing, vedeckých appears in contexts describing multiple scientific items, works, or institutions.

Morphology and usage

In Slovak, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. When a masculine adjective in the singular becomes part of a noun phrase that is in the genitive plural, it takes the ending -ých. Therefore, vedecký becomes vedeckých when describing plural nouns in genitive, such as vedeckých článkov (of scientific articles), vedeckých prác (of scientific works), or vedeckých inštitúcií (of scientific institutions). The form is not a stand-alone noun but a grammatical variant used to indicate possession or relation in a plural, genitive context.

Etymology

Vedecký derives from the noun veda (science; knowledge) with the adjectival suffix -cký. The word is cognate with related Slavic terms in Czech, Polish, and other languages that form adjectives meaning “scientific” from the root of knowledge.

Examples and contexts

Common phrases include vedeckých článkov, vedeckých prác, and vedeckých časopisov in genitive plural. It frequently appears in academic summaries, bibliographies, and institutional descriptions where the relationship to science is emphasized.
