plánu

Plánu is the genitive singular form of plán, a noun used in Czech and Slovak to mean plan, scheme, or programme. In standard usage it appears in phrases that indicate relation to the plan, for example as součást plánu (a part of the plan) or po schválení plánu (after the plan has been approved).

Grammatical notes: plán is a masculine inanimate noun. In Czech, the singular genitive and locative forms are the same: plánu. In Slovak, the singular genitive is plánu and the locative is pláne. Therefore plánu functions primarily as a genitive form meaning "of the plan" and can also appear in locative phrases in Czech.

Etymology: plán entered Czech and Slovak from German Plan in the 19th century, with parallel developments in planning vocabulary across Central Europe; cognates appear in many European languages, including English plan and French plan.

Usage: plánu is common in administrative, business, and urban planning texts where genitive constructions are required. Czech examples: "Součástí plánu je zajištění financování." "Podrobný rozpočet je součástí plánu." Slovak example: "Podrobný rozpočet je súčasťou plánu." These illustrate how plánu functions in phrases that specify possession or relation to a plan.

Note: plánu is not a separate lexical entry for the concept; to refer to the general noun you would use plán. plánu is a grammatical form used within sentences.
