zoznamu

Zoznamu is the genitive singular form of the Slovak noun zoznam, which means a list, catalog, or register. In standard Slovak, zoznam is a common term for an organized collection of items, names, entries, or records, and zoznamu appears whenever the noun is in a genitive relationship.

In grammar, zoznamu is used after prepositions that require the genitive case and in possessive constructions. For example, phrases such as do zoznamu kontaktov (into the list of contacts), bez zoznamu (without the list), or z zoznamu účastníkov (from the list of participants) illustrate its typical function. The construct zoznam položiek is a common way to express “a list of items,” where položiek is the genitive plural form of položka (item).

In everyday language and formal writing, zoznamu appears across many domains. In administration and documentation it can denote the portion of a document that lists particular items, such as a zoznamu mien or a zoznamu pracujúcich, depending on the context. In computing and data management, zoznam is frequently used to label arrays, registries, or rosters, with zoznamu indicating relations or ownership in phrases like zoznamu používateľov (list of users) or zoznamu úloh (task list).

Related terms include the base noun zoznam and its other inflected forms (genitive plural zoznamov, etc.). The word is native to Slovak and widely understood across the language, serving as a versatile label for organized collections in speech and text.
