Kontrolovanom

Kontrolovanom is a fluently used form in Slovak grammar, serving as the locative singular of the adjective or past participle kontrolovaný, meaning "controlled" or "monitored." It is used with masculine or neuter nouns in contexts where the location or state of being controlled is specified, typically after locative-governing prepositions such as v (in) or pri (at). For example: v kontrolovanom prostredí (in a controlled environment), v kontrolovanom procese (in a controlled process).

Morphology and formation: The base comes from the verb kontrolovať (to control). The participial adjective kontrolovaný yields various inflected forms, among which kontrolovanom is the locative singular masculine or neuter form. This form contrasts with feminine forms like kontrolovaná (nominative feminine) and other cases such as kontrolovaného (genitive masculine/neuter) and kontrolovaní/kontrolované forms for different genders and numbers.

Usage: Kontrolovanom is common in technical, scientific, and regulatory writing, as well as in descriptions of procedures, environments, and systems that are subject to control or monitoring. It typically appears with nouns denoting places, processes, or conditions, for example: v kontrolovanom prostredí, v kontrolovanom systéme, vo kontrolovanom procese.

Etymology: The word derives from the noun kontrola (control) with the prefix and participial suffix -ovaný, forming kontrolovaný (controlled). The locative ending -om marks the masculine or neuter singular in Slovak. The root kont rol- reflects a common Slavic adaptation of the concept of control, with further borrowing from standard terms such as kontrola/kontrolovať.
