Potvrdené

Potvrdené is a Slovak adjective form meaning "confirmed" or "verified." It is the neuter singular past participle of the verb potvrdiť (to confirm). As an adjective, it agrees with the noun in gender and number and is commonly used to denote information, results, or documents that have been checked and affirmed.

In practice, potvrdené appears in official language and journalism to indicate validation or verification. Typical usages include neuter singular phrases such as potvrdené rozhodnutie (a confirmed decision). The form changes with gender and number: potvrdená for feminine singular (for example, potvrdená informácia), and potvrdený for masculine singular (for example, potvrdený dokument). Plural forms vary with the noun’s gender.

Origin and related terms: potvrdené derives from the verb potvrdiť, which is built from po- plus tvrdiť, meaning essentially “to affirm” or “to declare.” The noun form is potvrdenie, meaning confirmation or proof, and related terms include overenie (verification) and potvrdenie (a confirmation or certificate).

Contexts and usage: potvrdené is commonly found in official documents, press releases, and quality-control or testing reports to signal that something has undergone verification. It can also function as a predicate in sentences, e.g., “Dokument je potvrdené” in informal usage, though more standard forms would be sentence-based (the noun or clause being confirmed).

See also: potvrdenie, potvrdenie o totožnosti, overenie, doklad. Cross-linguistically, Czech uses potvrzené with a different spelling, reflecting the close but distinct orthography of Czech and Slovak.
