celkovo

Celkovo is a Slovak adverb meaning "overall" or "in total." It is closely related to the Czech equivalent celkově and to the common Slavic root meaning whole or total. The word is used in formal and semi-formal writing to present a summation of figures or outcomes, often in statistics, budgeting, reports, and summaries.

Etymology and usage

Celkovo derives from the adjective celkový, meaning total or whole, and from the noun celok, denoting the whole. In practice, celkovo is employed to introduce a final numerical total or to emphasize an aggregate result. It can appear at the beginning or within a sentence, depending on emphasis and style. In Slovak texts, you will frequently find phrases like “Celkovo bolo …” or “Bolo vyrobených celkovo …,” with English equivalents such as “In total, … were produced” or “Overall, the figures show …”

Examples

Celkovo bolo vyšetrených 200 pacientov. (In total, 200 patients were examined.)

Celkovo sme získali 50 000 eur. (In total, we raised 50,000 euros.)

Place name note

There are no widely recognized geographical entities commonly named Celkovo. If encountered as a place, it is likely a fictional name or a misreading rather than a standard location.
