súdov

Súdov is the genitive plural form of the Slovak noun súd, meaning "court" in the sense of a judiciary body. The form is used when referring to more than one court or when expressing possession or attribution to courts, for example in phrases such as "rozhodnutia súdov" (court decisions) or "kompetencia súdov" (jurisdiction of the courts).

In standard Slovak grammar, súd is a masculine inanimate noun; the nominative plural is súdy, while the genitive plural is súdov. The usage of súdov is common in legal texts, news reporting, and formal prose, where different courts are referenced collectively or where courts' actions are described.

Etymology: súd is cognate with related Slavic words such as Czech soud and Polish sąd; all derive from a common Slavic root referring to a body for judgment or arbitration.
