materiálovom

Materiálovom is the locative singular form of the Slovak adjective materiálový, meaning material-related or pertaining to materials. It is used after prepositions such as v or o to indicate a relationship to material or to a field that deals with materials. As a grammatical form, materiálovom itself does not denote a standalone concept; its meaning depends on the noun it modifies within a sentence.

Morphology and usage: The root materiál means material. The suffix -ový creates an adjective meaning related to materials. In the locative singular masculine or neuter it appears as materiálovom, while the feminine locative singular is materiálovej. Common collocations include v materiálovom priemysle (in the material industry) and v materiálovom zmysle (in a material sense). The form also occurs in phrases naming domains such as materiálové inžinierstvo or materiálová politika.

Functional contexts: The term is predominantly used in technical, industrial, and academic Slovak to specify aspects connected with materials—properties, production, testing, procurement, and management. It helps distinguish material-related considerations from more abstract or non-material concepts. In policy or research writing, materiálovom is often part of broader expressions that describe material science, material engineering, or material security and supply.

Examples: "V materiálovom priemysle sa skúmajú vlastnosti kovov a polymérov." "V materiálovom zmysle ide o kvalitu a vhodnosť materiálov pre daný účel."
