Skryté

Skryté is a term used in Czech and Slovak to mean hidden or concealed. It is the neuter singular form of the adjective/skrytý, which is derived from the verb skrýt, meaning to hide. In usage, the adjective agrees with the noun by gender and number; common forms include skrytý (masculine), skrytá (feminine), and skryté (neuter). The neuter form skryté is frequently found before neuter nouns, as in skryté tajemství (hidden secret) or skryté nebezpečí (hidden danger). It can also occur predicatively, as in To je skryté (That is hidden).

Skryté is often used to describe things not immediately visible, not openly disclosed, or kept out of sight. It can refer to physical concealment, as well as hidden motives, meanings, or qualities. For example, skryté záměry means hidden motives, while skryté vady refers to concealed flaws.

Adverbial form exists as skrytě, meaning secretly or covertly, used to describe actions done in hiding or without public knowledge. Related terms include skrytost (concealment) and tajný (secret), which are used in similar contexts but with slightly different nuances.

In linguistic context, skryté functions as an attributive adjective and can appear in literary, journalistic, and everyday language to convey the idea of something not readily observable or disclosed.
