vojenský

Vojenský is a Czech adjective meaning military or war-related. It describes things connected with the armed forces or military affairs and is used in a wide range of compound nouns, such as vojenský útvar (military unit), vojenská služba (military service), vojenské letectvo (air force), or vojenské muzeum (military museum). The term can refer to branches of the armed forces collectively or to military institutions and activities in general. It is broader than some context-specific terms and can apply to all military aspects, not solely the army.

In Czech, vojenský declines like other adjectives and agrees with the noun in gender, number, and case (for example: vojenský muž, vojenská žena, vojenské dítě). It shares cognates with other Slavic languages, for instance Slovak vojenský and Polish wojskowy, reflecting a common historical root related to war.

Etymology and usage: The word derives from a root related to war or soldiers and has been in use in Czech to describe anything pertaining to defense, military history, equipment, and personnel. It appears frequently in official terminology, historical writing, and contemporary discourse about defense, including phrases like vojenský archiv, vojenské vybavení, and vojenský personál.
