Usage notes

[edit]
  • Unlike in Czech and Slovak, female equivalents of surnames are usually not used when referring to a female person by her full name, instead using the masculine form. They are generally only used when the first name of the person is omitted, although there are some (dated) exceptions such as Гайдукова (Hajdukova).
  • In Czech and Slovak, when a surname ends in -ský, -sky, -cký or -cky, the feminine equivalent is -ská or -cká etc., i.e. the surname declines as an adjective.
    But in Pannonian Rusyn, -ски (-ski) and -цки (-cki)-class surnames are treated as nouns, thus resulting in their feminine equivalents being -скова (-skova) and -цкова (-ckova) rather than -ска (-ska) and -цка (-cka), even though adjectives with these endings are still declined as such.
    However, those feminine equivalent surnames are declined as feminine adjectives in Pannonian Rusyn, even though the masculine forms are not; see "Declension" for the adjectival declension.
