administratívnom

Administratívnom is the locative singular neuter form of the Slovak adjective administratívny, meaning administrative or related to administration. It appears when the adjective modifies a neuter noun in the locative case, typically after the preposition v (in) or o (about). In contrast, other gender and case forms of the same adjective include administratívny (nominative masculine), administratívna (nominative feminine), administratívne (nominative neuter or adverbial), and the instrumental forms administratívnym (masculine/neuter) and administratívnou (feminine).

Usage and context: administratívnom is primarily found in formal or bureaucratic contexts describing locations, environments, or processes associated with administration. It signals that the noun it modifies relates to administrative matters. For example, v administratívnom centre mesta means “in the city’s administrative centre,” and v administratívnom prostredí means “in an administrative environment.”

Notes on function: administratívnom is not a separate lexical item; it is a grammatical form derived from administratívny. The meaning remains the same as administrative, but its form changes to agree with the neuter noun in the locative case. This form is part of standard Slovak declension and is routinely used in official writing, policy documents, and descriptions of governmental or organizational settings.

Etymology and related terms: the word derives from administratíva (administration) via the adjective administratívny. Related terms include administratívny, administratíva, and administratívny systém, all conveying administrative aspects.
