The plural forms are "chýbajúce" for feminine and neuter nouns, and "chýbajúci" for masculine nouns.

The word can be used in various contexts. It might refer to a physical object that is not where it should be, such as a "chýbajúca kniha" (missing book). It can also describe an abstract concept that is absent, like "chýbajúca podpora" (missing support) or "chýbajúca informácia" (missing information). In a more figurative sense, it can imply a deficiency or a fault, as in "chýbajúca kvalita" (lacking quality).
