Questions & Answers about Adresu trvalého pobytu zaevidujeme v informačním systému evidence obyvatel.

Why is adresu used instead of adresa?

Because adresu is the accusative singular form of adresa.

In this sentence, adresu is the direct object of the verb zaevidujeme, so Czech uses the accusative case. For feminine nouns ending in -a, the accusative singular often ends in -u:

• adresa = address
• adresu = address (as the object)

So this is the same kind of change as in:

• Mám knihu. = I have a book.
• Vidím sestru. = I see my sister.

Why is it trvalého pobytu? Why are both words in that form?

Because trvalého pobytu depends on adresu and means of permanent residence.

The structure is basically:

• adresa trvalého pobytu = address of permanent residence

Here, pobyt is a noun, and trvalého is an adjective describing it. Both are in the genitive singular because they answer the question address of what?

• pobyt = stay, residence
• trvalý pobyt = permanent residence
• trvalého pobytu = of permanent residence

This is also an important administrative term in Czech. Trvalý pobyt is an official legal registration status, not always exactly the place where someone is physically living at the moment.
