Diskutováno

Diskutováno is the neuter singular past passive participle of the Czech verb diskutovat, meaning that something has been the subject of discussion. In standard prose it appears with the auxiliary být to form a past passive construction, as in "Toto téma bylo diskutováno." In more concise or formal notes and minutes, it is often used as a stand-alone predicative participle: "Diskutováno s vedením." It can also function as an adjective meaning "that has been discussed," for example in phrases like "diskutované téma" or "diskutované body programu."

Grammatical notes about usage: as a past passive participle, diskutovat can yield the neuter form "diskutováno" when the subject is neuter or when the participle stands alone with an implicit subject. When it modifies a noun in context, it agrees with that noun in gender and number, producing forms appropriate to masculine, feminine, or plural subjects. In everyday and journalistic Czech, the short, impersonal form "diskutováno" is common in bullet points and summaries, serving a similar function to "has been discussed" in English.

Etymology and related forms: diskutovat derives from the noun diskuse (discussion), itself borrowed into Czech from a Germanic or Romance source lineage, with further borrowing into related terms such as diskuse and diskusní. The noun diskuse, the verb diskutovat, and the participle diskutováno form a related family used across formal and academic registers.

See also: diskutovat, diskuse, diskusní. Usage notes: common in minutes, reports, and formal writing to indicate that a topic, proposal, or issue has been the subject of discussion.
