Informován

Informován is a Czech word that functions as the past passive participle of the verb informovat (to inform). It is used as an adjective or predicative complement to indicate that someone has received information or has been apprised of something. The form is masculine singular informován; feminine singular is informována; neuter singular informováno. The word inflects for gender and number like other Czech past passive participles.

It is formed from the stem inform- plus the suffix -ován, following the standard pattern for past passive participles of verbs ending in -ovat. The base verb informovat is a relatively recent loanword in Czech, arising in the modern period likely through contact with German or English forms such as informovat/informieren.

In usage, it appears in sentences such as: "Byl informován o změnách" meaning "He was informed about the changes," or "Je informován" meaning "He is informed." It can also function attributively as in "informované materiály" (informed materials) or "informovaná osoba" (an informed person).
