Cognates include ru -цкий and pl -cki. Pronunciation Suffix sk suffix variant of sk -ský used primarily after stems ending in -k or -c, sometimes also -g sk Košice košický Košice Košice (relational) sk kupec kupecký merchant merchant (relational) sk Grék grécky Greece Greek sk Amerika americký America American sk Bodrog bodrocký Bodrog Bodrog (relational) Usage notes The suffixes sk -ský, -cký, and sk -enský carry no difference in meaning; they all express a relationship of belonging or affiliation. If the stem ends with -k or -c (and sometimes -g, see below), the suffix -cký is usually used, otherwise the basic form sk -ský is used. Consonant alternations: The final stem consonant always merges with the -c- of the suffix (e.g., sk Košice → sk košický). If the final consonant is -k or -g and it is preceded by a sonorant, the final consonant is dropped along with a potential mobile vowel before them and the form sk -ský is used (e.g., sk Pezinok → sk pezinský, sk Hamburg → sk hamburský). If the name of a town ends with sk -ec, this suffix is often dropped and the form sk -ský is used instead (e.g., sk Hlohovec → sk hlohovský). If the final -g is preceded by a vowel, it is either kept and the form sk -ský is used (e.g., sk Haag → sk haagsky) or it merges into the suffix -cký (usually with native places, e.g., sk Bodrog → sk bodrocký). This suffix is subject to the rhythmic law. If the preceding syllable is long, the short form sk -cky is used instead. Declension suffix Derived terms sk
