tukovou

Tukovou is a form of the Czech adjective tukový, which means “fat” or “fatty.” It is the feminine singular instrumental or accusative form used to modify feminine nouns in certain grammatical contexts.

Etymology and grammar: Tukový is derived from tuk, the Czech word for fat. Like other Czech adjectives, tukový inflects to agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies. The feminine singular instrumental and accusative forms converge on tukovou, which is common in phrases describing fat content, fatty substances, or related characteristics.

Usage: Tukovou appears mainly in contexts related to nutrition, medicine, biology, and everyday language when discussing fat content or fatty tissues. It is used with feminine nouns such as dieta (diet) and látka (substance), among others. Because Czech adjectives decline by case, tukovou will change when the noun’s case changes; masculine and neuter forms differ (tukový, tukové, etc.).

Examples: In practice, you might encounter phrases such as tukovou dietou, meaning “with a fatty diet,” or tukovou látkou, meaning “a fatty substance.” These usages illustrate how tukovou functions as a descriptive form tied to the gender and case of the associated noun.
