situácií

Situácií is the genitive plural form of the Slovak noun situácia. The base term situácia denotes a state of affairs, a set of circumstances, or the condition of something at a given time and place. It covers a wide range of contexts, from personal life to public events, and is used to describe the current environment in which actions take place.

Grammatical note: Situácií is used where the noun situácia is in genitive plural, most often after numerals or in phrases that require genitive case. For example: počet situácií (the number of situations); viacero situácií (several situations); riešenie viacerých situácií. The nominative plural form is situácie; situácií emphasizes quantity or relational context, not the basic sense of “situations” itself.

Usage and nuance: The term appears in political, economic, legal, and media discourse, as well as in everyday language. It is often contrasted with situácie in the nominative, which simply refers to multiple situations as subjects of a sentence. In common usage, speakers may prefer situácie for generic statements, and resort to situácií when specifying quantities or relationships, such as after words like "počet" or "viacerých."

Related terms include situácia (the singular) and synonyms such as okolnosti, podmienky, stav. Núdzová situácia, a phrase meaning emergency situation, is a common collocation that illustrates how situácie can be part of larger expressions describing urgent or exceptional conditions.
