dátumy

Dátumy is the plural form of the Slovak noun dátum, meaning a calendar date: a specific day, month, and year used to identify a point in time. The term is commonly used for planning, record-keeping, and historical reference.

The word is a loan from older European linguistic sources, ultimately tracing back to Latin datum. In Slovak, the plural dátumy is formed with the standard feminine noun pattern, and it is used whenever several dates are being referred to.

Dátumy are encountered across everyday language and specialized contexts. In ordinary speech, they denote dates of events, deadlines, or birth dates (dátum narodenia). In administrative, legal, and business settings, dates establish validity, deadlines, and timelines (dátum platnosti, dátum splatnosti, dátum ukončenia). In computing and data entry, dátum refers to a date value in records, forms, and databases, often formatted according to local conventions (for example day-month-year). The term also appears in historical or temporal outlines, where a sequence of dátumy helps describe events in a timeline.
