kauzálnych

Kauzálnych is a Slovak adjective form meaning causal, used to describe things related to cause and effect. In many scientific and scholarly contexts it appears as part of noun phrases that express causality, rather than mere correlation. The form kauzálnych is the genitive plural of the adjective kauzálny, and it commonly accompanies masculine or mixed-gender nouns in the genitive case.

In practice, kauzálnych modifies nouns in phrases such as kauzálnych vzťahov (causal relationships), kauzálnych faktorov (causal factors), or kauzálnych dôsledkov (causal consequences). This inflected form indicates that the described relationship or attribute pertains to causality and is part of a larger syntactic structure in which the noun is in the genitive plural. The use of this form is typical in philosophical, epidemiological, statistical, and social science texts where distinguishing causality from mere association is important.

Etymology and related terms: kauzálny is borrowed from Latin causalis, common in many European languages, and integrated into Slovak alongside other scientific terms. Related nouns include kauzalita or kauzalita (causality) and the adverb kauzálne (causally). While kauzálny describes a noun, kauzálne as an adverbial form modifies verbs to indicate a causal manner. Together, these forms support precise discussion of cause-and-effect in Slovak academic writing.
