minulého

Minulého is a Czech and Slovak adjective form meaning "past" or "last." It is the genitive singular form of the base adjective minulý and is used before masculine or neuter nouns in genitive singular. The form appears frequently in time expressions to refer to something from the past, for example, minulého roku (of last year) or minulého dne (of the day). In Slovak, similar constructions are common, such as minulého mesiaca (of the previous month).

The word is rooted in the verb minout, meaning to pass or elapse, and it is used to denote something that has already occurred. As with other Czech and Slovak adjectives, the exact form changes with gender, number, and case; minulého specifically marks masculine or neuter nouns in genitive singular. The feminine form and other case forms differ, so minulého is not used for feminine nouns in the same way.

In usage, minulého serves as a descriptive reference to a prior time frame and often appears in written and formal language, as well as in everyday speech when specifying a past period. It is commonly found in historical descriptions, timelines, and reports that discuss events, durations, or periods that have already elapsed. The term is widely understood across Czech-speaking and Slovak-speaking communities and is part of standard temporal vocabulary in both languages.
