nejaký

Nejakú is a form of the Slovak and Czech indefinite determiner meaning some or any. It functions to introduce a non-specific item and is commonly used in everyday language to refer to a thing without identifying it precisely. In Slovak, nejaký, nejaké, and related forms cover masculine, neuter, and feminine nouns in various cases; nejakú is specifically the feminine singular accusative form. The Czech equivalent is nějakou.

In Slovak usage, nejakú typically precedes a feminine noun in the accusative singular, signaling an unspecified object. For example: Chcel by som nejakú knihu. (I would like some book.) Dám ti nejakú radu. (I’ll give you some advice.) The expression can convey a sense of openness to a particular, non-specified choice rather than a definite item.

Etymology and related forms: nejakú is formed from the interrogative adjective jaký meaning what/kind, with the negation prefix ne- to express indefiniteness. It is part of a broader system that includes forms like nejaká, nejaké, and nejakí, which adapt to gender, number, and case. In Czech, the corresponding form is nějakou, reflecting similar usage and meaning.
