plechového

Plechového is the genitive singular form of the Czech adjective plechový, which means sheet metal or made of sheet metal. The term is used to describe objects, materials, or properties related to sheet metal, distinguishing them from parts made of other materials.

Etymology and usage context: plechový derives from plecha, the Czech word for sheet metal, with the adjectival suffix -ový. It is common in technical, industrial, and architectural language. The word is often paired with nouns denoting components, materials, or surfaces, for example in phrases that specify the sheet-metal nature of a part or product.

Morphology and forms: as an adjective, plechový inflects to agree with gender and number. Nominative masculine singular is plechový, feminine plechová, neuter plechové. The genitive singular is plechového, used after certain determiners or verbs that require the genitive case, for example when describing a characteristic of another noun in a dependent clause or phrase, such as plechového materiálu or plechového povrchu. Other cases follow regular adjective declension.

Usage examples: common phrases include plechový materiál (sheet-metal material), plechové dveře (sheet-metal doors), plechová krytina (sheet-metal roofing). In engineering and construction, plechového původu or plechové výrobky denotes objects made from sheet metal, while plechový design can describe a style emphasizing metal-sheet aesthetics.

See also: plech, plechovina, plechové výrobky. The term is distinct from kovový, which broadly means metallic but does not necessarily specify sheet metal.
