Zamenými

Zamenými is a grammatical form found in Slovak and Czech grammar. It is the instrumental plural form of the past passive participle derived from the verb zameniť (Slovak) or zaměnit (Czech), meaning to replace or substitute. As an instrumental plural participle, zamenými is used to describe nouns that are in the instrumental case and refer to something that has been replaced or substituted in a process. It commonly appears in technical, administrative, or narrative contexts where substitution is described, often in combination with nouns like dielmi (parts) or komponentmi (components).

In usage, zamenými functions as a modifying phrase or predicative element, agreeing with the noun it describes in gender, number, and case. For example, Slovak phrases such as so zamenenými dielmi and Czech phrases with s zameněnými díly convey the idea of “with replaced parts.” The exact spelling reflects the language’s orthography: Slovak commonly writes zamenenými, while Czech uses zameněnými, with diacritics to indicate the phonetic values.

Etymology and related forms: the root comes from zameniť or zaměnit, meaning to exchange or substitute, with standard Slavic derivational suffixes that form past participles and instrumental plurals. Related terms include zameniť, zamena (exchange/substitution), and the broader concept of substitution in grammar and terminology.
