Zostávajúce

Zostávajúce is a Slovak word that translates to "remaining" or "leftover" in English. It is a versatile adjective used in various contexts to describe something that is left over, not used, or still present after a portion has been removed or consumed.

In everyday language, "zostávajúce" can refer to leftover food, such as "zostávajúce jedlo" (leftover food). It can also describe remaining time, like "zostávajúce hodiny" (remaining hours) before an event. The word is frequently encountered when discussing finances, where "zostávajúce peniaze" would mean remaining money.

Beyond simple descriptions, "zostávajúce" can imply a state of incompletion or a quantity that has not yet been dealt with. For instance, "zostávajúce úlohy" could refer to tasks that are yet to be completed. In a more abstract sense, it might describe the remaining impact or consequences of an action. The grammatical form of the word changes depending on the gender and number of the noun it modifies, adhering to Slovak declension rules. Its core meaning, however, consistently conveys the idea of what is left behind or has not yet been accounted for.
