gramatickú

Gramatická is the feminine singular nominative form of the Czech and Slovak adjective gramatický, meaning “grammatical” or “relating to grammar.” It is used to describe phenomena, rules, or structures that belong to grammar. In everyday usage, it appears in phrases such as gramatická chyba (grammar error) or gramatická pravidla (grammar rules). The term functions as a modifier of feminine nouns and, like other adjectives, agrees with gender, number, and case.

Etymology and range of meaning. The word derives from gramatika, meaning grammar, which in turn comes from Latin grammatica and Greek grammatiké (from grammatos “letter, written thing”). In Czech and Slovak, gramatická retains the core sense of relating to the rules and structure of a language, distinct from lexical meaning or semantic content.
