Varován

Varován is a Czech word that functions as the masculine singular past passive participle of the verb varovat, meaning to warn. As an adjective it describes someone or something that has received a warning or been cautioned about a danger. In typical usage it can appear with phrases such as varován před nebezpečím (warned about the danger) and describes the state of being alerted rather than the act of warning itself.

The participle is gender- and number-agreeing, with standard forms including varován (m., sg.), varována (f., sg.), varováno (n., sg.), varováni (m., pl.), and varovány (f., pl.). These forms allow the word to modify nouns across different genders and quantities, for example: Byl varován; Byl varováný? No, Byl varován is common; Varovaná osoba left the building describes a feminine subject who has been warned.

Related terms in Czech include varování (the act or instance of warning), varovný (warning, cautionary) and the verb varovat (to warn). The word shares its semantic field with these derivatives and appears in both formal and everyday language, including safety notices, news reports, and instructional texts.

Etymology traces varován back to the verb varovat, with connections to related Slavic roots meaning to warn or caution. The form variations align with standard Czech adjective and participle inflection patterns, allowing precise agreement with nouns in gender, number, and case.
