vonkajom

Vonkajom is a morphosyntactic form used in Slovak. It is the locative singular masculine form of the adjective vonkajší, meaning external or outer. This form appears in prepositional phrases to indicate the location or position of something in relation to its exterior, for example in phrases describing space, surfaces, or contexts outside of something.

In standard Slovak orthography the locative singular masculine form is vonkajšom. The meaning remains the same as in the base adjective vonkajší, but it agrees with the noun in gender, number, and case. The word is not a separate lexical item; it is an inflected form used to modify a following noun in contexts such as "vonkajšom priestore" (in the exterior space) or "na vonkajšom obale" (on the outer packaging).

When diacritics are omitted, this form may appear as vonkajom in non-diacritic texts or limited character sets, though this is a representation issue rather than a distinct grammatical form. The use of vonkajšom versus other forms follows standard Slovak adjective declension rules and varies with the syntactic role of the noun it modifies.

Overall, vonkajom functions as a grammatical variant of vonkajší that enables precise expression of exterior location within sentences. See also Slovak grammar and the declension of adjectives for related forms and usage.
