náporu

Náporu is the genitive singular form of the Czech and Slovak noun nápor, a term that denotes pressure, impact, or load. The word is used in both languages to refer to physical forces acting on objects or structures, as well as to metaphorical or figurative pressure, such as stress or demand placed on a system or person.

In technical contexts, nápor describes an external force or load that a structure, machine, or component must withstand. It is a common term in engineering, construction, hydrodynamics, and related fields, where calculations of wind, water, traffic, or mechanical load are described in terms of nápor. In everyday language, nápor can also signify pressure or strain experienced in social, psychological, or competitive situations.

Grammatical notes: náporu is the standard genitive singular form of nápor in Czech and Slovak. It appears in phrases and constructions that require the genitive (for example, expressions of quantity, measurement, or comparison) and in combination with prepositions or verbs that govern the genitive. The noun has cognates across Slavic languages, such as Polish napór or Russian napor, with similar meanings related to pressure or thrust.
