horúca is a Slovak word that translates to "hot" in English. It is used to describe high temperatures, both of the weather and of objects. For example, one might say "Je horúca noc" which means "It is a hot night" or "Tá polievka je horúca" meaning "That soup is hot." The word is an adjective and changes its grammatical form depending on the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies.

The feminine singular form is horúca, the masculine singular is horúci, and the neuter singular is horúce. The plural forms are horúci (masculine animate), horúce (masculine inanimate and neuter), and horúce (feminine).

In a broader sense, horúca can also be used metaphorically to describe situations that are intense, heated, or controversial. For instance, a "horúca debata" would be a heated debate, and a "horúca situácia" could refer to a tense or volatile situation. The word's versatility allows it to be applied to a range of contexts where the concept of high temperature or intensity is relevant.
