strojovou

Strojovou is a form of the Czech adjective strojový, meaning "machine" or "mechanical." It is not a standalone noun but a grammatical inflection used to modify feminine nouns in certain cases. Specifically, strojovou is the feminine singular instrumental and accusative form of strojový, appearing in phrases that describe actions or processes performed by machines.

In Czech grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. The ending -ovou marks the feminine singular instrumental and accusative form. This allows phrases such as strojovou metodou (by machine method) or strojovou úpravou (by machine adjustment) to convey that the action or process is carried out by or with machines.

Usage and context: strojovou is predominantly found in technical, industrial, or formal language. It often appears in manuals, specifications, and descriptions of automated or machine-assisted processes. The underlying noun can be a feminine noun like metoda (method), úprava (adjustment), or výroba (production), among others. The construction emphasizes machine involvement rather than human effort.

Etymology and related forms: strojovou derives from strojový, which itself comes from stroj (machine) with the typical Czech adjective suffix -ový. Other gender and case forms of strojový include strojový (masculine nominative), strojová (feminine nominative), and corresponding forms for other cases. In usage, strojovou remains a precise, context-dependent inflection used to articulate machine-related actions.
