kolegovia

Kolegovia, in Slovak, is the masculine plural noun meaning colleagues or coworkers. It is used to refer to people who work with someone, typically in the same organization or field. The feminine plural form is kolegyne, used for groups of female colleagues.

The term derives from kolega, the singular form for “male colleague,” which in turn comes from Latin collega meaning partner or associate. The Slovak word developed through historical contact with other European languages and the standardization of Slovak spelling.

Grammatical note: singular masculine kolega; singular feminine kolegyňa; plural masculine or mixed kolegovia; plural feminine kolegyne.

Usage: Kolegovia is common in workplace and academic contexts. It can refer to peers in professional settings or to people serving as colleagues in a project. In formal writing, it is typically used with adjectives that agree in number and gender, for example: moji kolegovia for a group of male or mixed colleagues, or kolegyne for a group of female colleagues.
