domácu

Domácu is a grammatical form used in Slovak. It is the feminine singular accusative form of the adjective domestický (domestic, household) and is used to modify feminine nouns in the accusative case. For example, in the sentence Musím splniť domácu úlohu, the phrase domácu úlohu shows the adjective agreeing with the feminine noun úlohu in the accusative singular.

In Slovak grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. Therefore, other forms of the same adjective appear for different genders and cases, such as domáca for feminine nominative, domáci for masculine forms, and domáce for neuter or plural forms, depending on the noun they describe. The form domestický/domáce family of adjectives reflects this system of agreement and is marked by diacritics that indicate pronunciation, notably the acute on the a in domácu.

Usage notes emphasize that domestický meaning can range from “domestic/household” to “home” in contexts like education or daily life. The form domácu specifically signals that the modified noun is feminine and in the accusative case, which can influence syntax and word order in Slovak sentences. The word is common in both spoken and written Slovak, especially in phrases describing tasks, objects, or activities associated with the home or household.
