záveru

Záveru is a linguistic term used in Slovak grammar. It refers to a specific inflected form of the noun závěr, which means end, ending, or conclusion. Záveru is the genitive singular form, and it appears in contexts where the genitive case is required. As a result, it functions to connect závěr to another element in a sentence, indicating relationships such as possession, attribution, or specification.

In usage, závěr is a common noun in standard Slovak, appearing in both spoken and written language across disciplines such as literature, journalism, and education. The genitive form závěru is produced by applying the regular rules of Slovak declension for masculine nouns ending in -er, and it aligns with similar genitive forms found for other nouns in the language.

Compared with related forms in other Slavic languages, the Slovak závěru is distinct from the Czech závěru (the equivalent genitive singular form in Czech). This highlights how closely related Slavic languages can diverge in inflection, even for common everyday nouns like end or conclusion.
