Definovanými

Definovanými is a Czech linguistic form, the instrumental plural of the past participle adjective definovaný, meaning defined. In Czech grammar it functions as an adjective that agrees in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies. The instrumental plural ending -ými is used when the modified noun is in the instrumental case, typically in phrases that express means, manner, or attribution.

The form is commonly found in technical, legal, and academic writing, where precise specification of methods, standards, or attributes is required. It signals that the described elements have been defined or specified in advance and are used as criteria, parameters, or rules. Examples include definovanými pravidly (by defined rules) and definovanými parametry (defined parameters). It can also appear in phrases like definovanými kritérii (defined criteria) or in contexts discussing procedures that rely on defined specifications.
