takvoj

Takvoj is a demonstrative adjective form used in several South Slavic languages to mean "such" or "to that kind of." It functions within noun phrases to mark agreement with gender and case and is most commonly found as the feminine singular form when used with prepositions or in certain syntactic constructions.

In terms of morphology and usage, takvoj is typically the feminine singular form that appears after prepositions that govern the locative case, such as in phrases like "u takvoj situaciji," meaning "in such a situation." The exact inflection patterns can vary by dialect and language standard, and other gender-number forms exist within the same demonstrative paradigm to match different nouns.

Takvoj belongs to a broader family of demonstratives built from the root tako- meaning "so" or "such." Related forms include masculine and neuter variants (and other feminine forms) in the same paradigm, with usage and preference differing across standard varieties of Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian, as well as across regional dialects.

In everyday speech, takvoj is a common choice when describing a quality or state that has been previously mentioned or is evident from context. It tends to be used in neutral to emphatic contexts and is typically found in both spoken and written language, though exact preferences for this form can vary by register and locale.
