Potvrzeny

Potvrzeny is the ASCII spelling of the Czech adjective potvrdzený, which means confirmed, validated, or verified. It is used to describe something that has been officially established or approved, such as a document, result, statement, or signature. In proper Czech orthography the form is potvrdzený, while potvrzeny appears mainly in plain-text contexts that omit diacritics.

Etymology and sense: Potvrzeny derives from the verb potvrdit, meaning to confirm. The suffix -ný marks it as an adjective or past participle, indicating a state resulting from confirmation. The word is related to other forms such as potvrzení (a noun meaning confirmation) and potvrdit (to confirm). The diacritic version potvrdzený is commonly used in formal writing, with potvrzeni as the corresponding noun.

Grammatical notes: Potvrzeny functions as a standard Czech adjective or past participle. It agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number (for example, masculine singular: potvrzeny, feminine singular: potvrzena, neuter singular: potvrzene; plural forms vary by gender). In many informal texts without diacritics, the same ASCII form potvrzeny may appear across genders, but correct agreement should be observed in proper orthography.

Usage examples: Potvrzeny dokument byl ulozen. (The confirmed document was filed.) Potvrzeny vysledek testu uvedl jasne, ze... (The confirmed test result indicated...) Potvrzeny podpis byl overen. (The confirmed signature was verified.)
