lakového

Lakového is a grammatical form of the Czech adjective lakový, which means lacquered, varnished, or related to lacquer coatings. It is not a standalone noun; rather, it appears as one of the inflected forms of lakový and is most commonly seen in the genitive singular with masculine or neuter nouns. For example, lakového nátěru means “of a lacquer coating,” and lakového povrchu means “of the lacquered surface.” In feminine contexts, the genitive singular typically takes the form lakové, as in lakové vrstvy (of a lacquer layer).

Etymology and meaning: lakový is derived from lak, the Czech word for varnish or lacquer, with the adjectival suffix -ový to form an adjective describing things related to lacquer. The term is used to indicate materials, finishes, or processes involving lacquer.

Usage: In Czech, lakový is common in technical, industrial, and craft language when describing finishes, coatings, or lacquered objects. The genitive form lakového arises in phrases that denote possession or specification, such as “the lacquer coating of X” or “the surface of lacquered X.” The adjective agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies, so other forms (lakový, laková, lakové, lakoví, laková at various cases) appear according to standard Czech agreement rules.
