Modifikovaným

Modifikovaným is the instrumental singular form of the Czech adjective modifikovaný, meaning modified. It is used to describe a masculine or neuter noun in singular that has undergone modification. The feminine instrumental singular is modifikovanou, and the plural instrumental is modifikovanými. The form modifikovaným therefore appears in phrases where the action or state of modification is expressed as an instrument or manner.

Etymology and form: modifikovaný is derived from the verb modifikovat (to modify), which in Czech emerges from international vocabulary based on modify and Latin modificare. As a past participle-style adjective, it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. The instrumental singular modifikovaným marks means, manner, or instrument in phrases such as in a modified form or by modified means.

Usage: The term is common in scientific, technical, and everyday language. Examples include modifikovaným způsobem (in a modified way), modifikovaným organismem (with a modified organism), and modifikovaným genetickým materiálem (with modified genetic material). It is used both attributively and, in constructions requiring the instrumental case, predicatively within a sentence.

Notes: As with other Czech adjectives, the correct form depends on the gender and number of the noun it modifies. While modifikovaným is typical for masculine or neuter singular, feminine usage requires modifikovanou, and plural contexts use modifikovanými. The term functions within a broader vocabulary of modification and modification-related processes across disciplines.
