pívlastkových

Pívlastkových is a grammatical concept found in some Slavic languages, particularly in Czech and Slovak. It refers to possessive adjectives or pronouns that are formed from a noun denoting a person or an animal and indicate possession by that entity. These possessive forms are declined like regular adjectives, agreeing in gender, number, and case with the noun they modify.

For example, in Czech, from the noun "otec" (father), the possessive adjective "otcův" (father's) can be formed. If a son is being discussed, one might say "otcův syn" (father's son). Similarly, from "pes" (dog), the possessive adjective "psí" (dog's) is derived, as in "psí štěkot" (dog's bark). This possessive formation is a productive one, allowing for the creation of a wide range of possessive modifiers. The grammatical category of pívlastkových distinguishes these possessive adjectives from other types of adjectives. They are a distinct grammatical feature that contributes to the expressiveness and flexibility of these languages.
