Usage

edit

This pattern is typically used by masculine animate nouns that end with -a or -o, that is those that describe a person.

Words ending with -o usually have the genitive and accusative ending -a, e.g. dedodeda. Only Slovak family names keep the genitive and accusative -u, e.g., VančoVanču, although some Slovak family names can take either genitive and accusative endings, e.g., Krasko can become either Krasku or Kraska. Foreign family names use the genitive and accusative -a, e.g., ŠevčenkoŠevčenka (a Ukrainian family name), or PicassoPicassa.
