President Wilson and Wilsonova Street
Posted by Margarete on Aug 03
It all started with my curiosity over a street name I saw in Nitra: Wilsonova ulica.
In the Slovak language ova is one of the suffixes added to the end of a street name. This ending is added because the word “street” is a noun and the name is the adjective form describing the street. For example, Bernolákova ulica is Bernolák Street, and in this case named after Anton Bernolák, first codifier of the Slovak language. Other examples are Einsteinova or Kopernikova streets.
