Vocative Library

This library was built using Vokativ. With removal of deprecated functions and smaller bundle size and TS support. Enjoy.

This is a library that provides functionality for handling "vocative" forms of names, mainly for the Czech language. The "vocative" form is a specific grammatical case used in some Slavic languages, including Czech, to address someone in an affectionate or familiar way. The library contains functions for converting names into their "vocative" forms based on gender and suffix rules. It also provides a function to determine the gender of a given name.

Methods

| Method Name | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | isWoman(nameString: string): boolean | Checks if a given name (in lowercase) is associated with a woman. | | vocative(nameString: string, womanBool?: boolean, lastName?: boolean): string | The main function for converting a name into its "vocative" form.
