kolíku

Kolíku is a term that can refer to several distinct concepts, primarily in the Czech language. One common meaning of "kolíku" is the genitive singular form of the word "kolík," which translates to "peg," "stake," or "pin" in English. This can be used in various contexts, such as a small wooden or metal peg used in construction, carpentry, or for marking positions in the ground. For example, "potřebuji kolíku na stavbu" translates to "I need a stake for the construction."

Another, more specialized meaning of "kolíku" relates to a type of small, traditional Czech pastry. These pastries are often sweet and can be filled with fruit preserves, cheese, or poppy seeds. They are typically small and round or oval in shape, designed for individual consumption. The term "kolíku" in this culinary sense would likely appear in a phrase like "dej mi jeden kolíku" meaning "give me one kolíku."

Furthermore, the word can occasionally appear as a surname in Czech-speaking regions. As with any surname, its usage would be in reference to a person bearing that name. The specific context would determine which of these meanings is intended. Without further context, "kolíku" can be ambiguous.
