pípadnou

Pípadnou is a feminine accusative singular form of the adjective meaning “possible, hypothetical, or contingent” in Czech and Slovak contexts. In Czech, the standard spelling of the corresponding form is přípádnou from the adjective případný, while in Slovak the corresponding form is prípadnú from prípadný. The form pípadnou as such is not standard Czech; it may appear as a misspelling or under influence from Slovak orthography.

Etymology and meaning: The word derives from the noun případ, meaning “case, instance” or “opportunity,” combined with the suffix -ný to form an adjective. The resulting meaning covers something that might occur or be relevant in a given case, i.e., a possible option, change, or scenario.

Morphology and usage: In Czech, the typical feminine accusative singular is případnou (as in zvažujeme případnou změnu plánu — “we are considering a possible change of plan”). In Slovak, the corresponding form is prípadnú. The adjective can describe a feminine noun in contexts where a hypothetical or potential attribute is being referenced. A related adverb is případně, meaning “in case, if necessary.”

Examples:

- Czech: Mohli bychom přijmout případnou změnu plánu.

- Slovak: V prípade prípadnú situáciu je potrebné zvážiť.

Note: If you encounter pípadnou in Czech texts, it is usually a nonstandard spelling of případnou. In Slovak, the correct form is prípadnú.
