Zoznam

Zoznam is a Slovak noun meaning list, register, or catalog. It denotes an organized collection of items, entries, or names that are presented in a specific order for reference or planning. The term is common in everyday language as well as in administrative, educational, and computing contexts.

In practical use, Zoznam appears in many compound phrases. Examples include zoznam mien (list of names), zoznam úloh (to-do list or task list), zoznam kontaktov (contacts list), and zoznam výrobkov (product list). The word supports both simple enumerations and more formal registries or indexes, depending on the context and scale of the collection.

Linguistically, the word is characteristic of Slovak and is cognate in meaning with the Czech seznam, which serves the same function in Czech. While similar in sense, the two words differ in spelling and pronunciation, reflecting the distinct standard forms of the two languages.

As a proper noun, Zoznam is used as the name of a Slovak online portal in capitalized form. In this usage, it functions as a brand or title rather than as a common noun, and it appears in media and digital publishing within Slovakia’s online information landscape.
