dávce

Dávce is a Czech grammatical form rather than a separate concept or place. It is the dative singular and the locative singular form of the feminine noun dávka, which means dose, portion or allotment. The base word dávka denotes a measured amount of a substance (such as a medicine), a portion of food, or a designated share of resources or funds.

In standard Czech, the noun is declined as follows in the singular: nominative dávka, genitive dávky, dative and locative dávce, accusative dávku. In the plural it is dávky (nominative/accusative), dávků (genitive), dávkám (dative), and dávkách (locative). Thus, dávce functions as the form used when the noun acts as an indirect object or when indicating location or topic with certain prepositions.

Common uses of the dative/locative form occur in phrases governed by prepositions such as v or o, and in contexts describing amounts or allocations. Examples include v dávce 50 mg (in a dose of 50 milligrams) or o dávce léčiva (about the dose of the medicine). This form is part of standard Czech grammar and is encountered across medical, nutritional, legal, and administrative texts where quantities or allocations are discussed.
