príklade

"Príklade" is a Slovak word that translates to "example" in English. It is a common term used in various contexts, including everyday conversation, academic writing, and technical documentation. The word is derived from the verb "príkladať," meaning "to add" or "to attach," which reflects the idea of providing something as an illustration or instance.

In its most general sense, a príklad serves to clarify a concept, demonstrate a principle, or support an argument. For instance, when explaining a grammatical rule, a teacher might offer a príklad sentence to show how the rule is applied. Similarly, in a scientific paper, researchers may present a príklad experiment to illustrate their findings.

The word can also be used in a more specific way to refer to a model or a pattern to be followed. For example, someone might be described as a good príklad of a dedicated employee, meaning they serve as a positive model for others. In this sense, a príklad embodies certain qualities or behaviors that are considered desirable or exemplary. The grammatical form of "príklade" itself is the locative singular case, indicating "in an example" or "by way of example."
