Today the (syntactic) vocative is realised by the (morphological) nominative case, just like in English, German and many other languages. However, the ancient vocative declensions have survived (mostly in conserved, archaic words or language, e.g. in fairy tales, folklore, or in an ironic sense) in some words, some examples: <i>syn</i> (son) – V: <i>synku</i>, <i>brat</i> (brother) – V: <i>bratu</i>, <i>bratku</i>), <i>chlapec</i> (boy, knave) – V: <i>chlapče</i>), <i>švagor</i> (brother-in-law) – V: <i>švagre</i> or N, <i>kmotor</i> (godparent) – V: <i>kmotre</i> or N), <i>chlap</i> (man, male) – V: <i>chlape</i>, <i>priateľ</i> (friend) V: <i>priateľu</i> or N, <i>pán</i> (mister, lord) – V: <i>pane</i> or N), <i>majster</i> (master artist) – V: <i>majstre</i> or N), <i>boh</i> (god) – V: <i>bože</i>, <i>mama</i> (mum, mother) – V: <i>mamo</i>, <i>mami</i>) and was retrofitted (with the help of Czech influence) to some more words, like <i>šéf</i> (chief, boss) – V: <i>šéfe</i>. There is a dispute among some Slovak linguists whether to include the vocative into the categories grammar, but with declension (mostly) equal to the nominative, or to unify it with the nominative case category. The morphological vocative is used only for the above restricted number of words and in addition only in some contexts (such as many dialects, which still use the vocative case). Note however that there is no dispute that the syntactic vocative exists in Slovak. Slovak schools have been teaching for at least 30 years that there is no grammar category of vocative anymore in use, however, the use of the vocative case in the past is often mentioned. The Slovak Encyclopedia of Linguistics (1993) explicitly says: the vocative is nowadays replaced by the nominative. However, the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Slovak_National_Corpus&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Slovak National Corpus (page does not exist)">Slovak National Corpus</a> explicitly includes vocative as a separate case in the morphological analysis and corpus tagset.</li></ul> <p>There is also a different form of morphological vocative emerging in spoken language, used with some familiar forms of personal names (Paľo - Pali, Jano, Jana - Jani, Zuza - Zuzi) and familiar forms of kinship words, such as <i>mama – mami</i> (mum, mother), <i>oco – oci</i> (dad, father), <i>tata, tato – tati</i> (dad, daddy), <i>baba, babka – babi</i> (gran, granny, grandmother). This usage is very similar to the "<a href="/wiki/Vocative_case#New_vocative" title="Vocative case">new Russian vocative</a>" (Маш', Петь', мам'), but it is not accepted into standardised codified language.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (February 2018)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> This could have developed out of proper names that were formed using the Hungarian diminutive suffix -i and that are used in spoken Slovak, and therefore is often homonymous with nominative (semi-)diminutive forms of the names. Another possibility is influence from Czech (from common bilingual TV during Czechoslovakia), where Jani / Zuzi as well as mami / tati / babi is part of <a href="/wiki/Common_Czech" class="mw-redirect" title="Common Czech">Common Czech</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legend">Legend</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Slovak_declension&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Legend"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>"<b>ends in</b>" in the following refers to the ending in the nominative singular (N sg), unless stated differently;</li> <li><b>Soft consonants</b> are: all consonants with the diacritic mark ˇ (for example š, ľ) + c, dz, j. <b>Hard and neutral consonants</b> are all the remaining consonants;</li> <li>For masculine nouns, adjectives, pronouns and numerals it is necessary to distinguish between <b>animate and inanimate</b> ones.
