Napadených

Napadených is a Czech term that functions as a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept. It is the genitive plural form of napadený, which can act as a past participle adjective meaning “attacked” or as a masculine animate noun referring to a person who has been attacked. In contemporary Czech usage, napadený as a noun is often declined, and napadených appears in contexts where the phrase requires genitive plural, such as after numbers or certain quantifiers.

In practice, napadených is most commonly found in legal, police, and media language. Typical phrases include pojem napadených osob (the group of attacked persons), počet napadených (the number of attacked persons), or zranění napadených (the injuries of the attacked). Because napadených is a declined form, it does not stand alone in ordinary speech; its exact meaning is guided by surrounding words and the syntactic role it plays in the sentence.

Etymology and related forms: napadený derives from the verb napadnout, meaning to attack or assault. The base form napadený can function as an adjective describing someone who has been attacked or as a noun meaning “the attacked one.” The related noun napadení refers to the act of attack or assault itself. The form napadených, as genitive plural, is used to indicate possession or comitative relationships involving multiple attacked individuals (for example, “počet napadených osob” or “reakce napadených”). Context determines whether the term conveys a neutral description of victims or a legal-scene designation of those involved.
