Zigzagových

Zigzagových is a Czech linguistic term referring to the genitive plural form of the adjective zigzagový, which means zigzag or having a zigzag pattern. It is a grammatical ending used when describing masculine or mixed-gender nouns in the genitive plural, for example in phrases like zigzagových vzorů or zigzagových tkanin. The base word zigzagový is formed from the borrowed Czech adaptation of the English word zigzag, with the typical suffix -ový that creates adjectives indicating relation or characteristic.

Morphology and usage

In Czech, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify. The nominative plural masculine inanimate form of zigzagový is zigzagové, while the genitive plural form is zigzagových. The form zigzagových, therefore, is not a stand-alone noun but a case-specific ending that appears in phrases describing multiple zigzag-patterned items. This pattern is common in fields that describe visual or structural patterns, such as design, textiles, architecture, and art.

Contexts

Zigzagových is encountered in technical writing, product descriptions, and design literature when precise pattern terminology is needed. It often appears in combination with nouns like vzor(é), tkanin(y), lini(í), or tvar(ů) to specify the type of zigzag pattern being referred to.

Examples

Počet zigzagových vzorů ve vzorku činil 12. Textilie se zigzagovými vzory jsou populární v módě i bytovém designu.
