Odvedené

Odvedené is a Czech past passive participle used as an attributive adjective derived from the verb odvést, meaning to transfer, remit, or pay to another entity. In common usage it most often appears in financial and administrative contexts to describe amounts that have been sent to a recipient, such as a government body or a company. The phrase odvedené daně, for example, refers to taxes that have been paid to the state.

Etymology and grammar: The form originates from the prefix od- combined with vést (to lead) or odvést (to take away, to transfer). As a participle, odvedené agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number (e.g., odvedené daně, odvedené výnosy, odvedené platby). Its exact grammatical ending reflects the noun’s gender and number, and in many contexts it functions similarly to a regular adjective describing a completed transfer or payment.

Usage and contexts: The term is common in accounting, taxation, and public finance. It appears in statements such as “odvedené daně do rozpočtu” (taxes remitted to the budget) or “odvedené výnosy reinvestovány” (revenues transferred/ remitted and reinvested). It can describe funds, results, or obligations that have already been fulfilled by payment or transfer.

Notes: Odvedené should not be confused with non-financial uses of odvézt, though in everyday Czech it is most frequently encountered in monetary and fiscal phrases. The concept emphasized is completion of a transfer or payment to a recipient, typically to a public authority or downstream entity.
