Viazaný

Viazaný is an adjective used in Slovak and Czech meaning bound, tied, or restricted. It can describe something physically tied or restrained, as well as something legally or metaphorically constrained by conditions, rules, or obligations. The term is the past participle form of the verbs viazať (Slovak) and vázat (Czech).

Etymology and forms: Viazaný derives from the verb meaning to bind or fasten. The standard feminine form is viazaná and the neuter form viazané, with the masculine form viazaný. In predicative use, it agrees with the noun it describes. In Czech, the corresponding participle is vázaný, with forms vázaná and vázané.

Usage and meanings: The primary senses are physical binding (a rope or strap that is tied) and contractual or figurative binding (obligations, restrictions, or commitments). Common phrases include viazaný zmluvou or viazaná zmlouvou in Slovak, meaning bound by a contract, and viazané podmienky for constrained conditions. In Czech, equivalents are vázaný smlouvou and vázané podmínky. The term also appears in legal, administrative, and regulatory contexts to denote enforceable obligations or limitations.

Examples: In Slovak, a contract may be described as Táto zmluva je viazaná na konkrétne podmienky (This contract is bound to specific conditions). In Czech, Smlouva je vázána na konkrétní podmínky (The contract is bound by specific conditions). In non-legal use, a piece of equipment can be viazaný šnúrou (tied with a string).
