dívku

Dívku is the accusative singular form of the Czech feminine noun dívka, which means girl. In Czech, nouns are declined for case, number, and gender, so dívka changes its ending depending on how it is used in a sentence. The nominative singular is dívka, while the accusative singular is dívku. Other singular forms include genitive dívky, dative dívce, instrumental dívkou, locative dívce, and vocative dívko.

As the direct object of a sentence, dívku refers to a girl who is being seen, met, or referred to in action. Examples include sentences such as viděl jsem dívku (I saw a girl) or potkala dívku (she met a girl). The form dívku is paired with verbs that take a direct object, reflecting Czech’s rich case system.

Dívka, the base form, is the standard, neutral term for a girl. In more informal spoken Czech, holka or dívenka may be used, but dívka remains the common literary and formal option. The choice between dívka and alternatives can convey register, tone, or regional preferences.

In summary, dívku is the direct-object form used with a girl in Czech, derived from the base noun dívka and part of a full set of case-based endings that mark its grammatical role in a sentence.
