koncovem

Koncovem is the non-diacritic form of the Czech locative singular of the adjective koncový, which means terminal or final. It appears when koncový describes a noun in the locative case, typically after prepositions such as v (in). For example, v koncovém stadiu means in the final stage. The form is a standard part of Czech grammar and is used across technical, scientific, and literary contexts to indicate that something is at or pertaining to the end or final position.

Morphology and usage vary with the noun and grammatical case. Koncový is an adjective formed from the noun konec (end) with the suffix -ový. In the locative singular masculine, the ending becomes -ovém, producing koncovém. In texts without diacritics, this is sometimes written as koncovem. The same adjective also yields other inflected forms in different genders and cases (for example koncový, koncového, koncovému, koncovou, koncovem, depending on case and gender).

Etymology and related terms. Koncový derives from konec (end) plus the adjectival suffix -ový, forming a word that denotes something related to the end. Related words include konec (end), koncovka (suffix or terminal ending), and konce (ends). The concept is widely used in Czech and, with corresponding forms, in related Slavic languages to describe final points, stages, or terminal components.
