Zdokumentována

Zdokumentována is a Czech past participle form, specifically the feminine singular of the verb zdokumentovat. It denotes that something has been documented or provided with supporting documents. In standard usage it appears in passive constructions with the auxiliary být, for example: Zpráva byla zdokumentována citacemi a přílohami. It can also function as an attributive adjective, as in zdokumentovaná zpráva, meaning a documented report.

The form has masculine and neuter counterparts: zdokumentovaný and zdokumentováno, which agree with masculine and neuter subjects respectively. Zdokumentovat is the perfective aspect of the verb, indicating that the act of documenting has been completed. Its imperfective counterpart, dokumentovat, refers to the ongoing process of documenting.

Etymology and formation: the word is built from the noun dokument (document) with the prefix z- and the verbal suffix -ovat, then inflected to the feminine singular past participle. This derivation follows common Czech patterns for forming past passive participles from perfective verbs.

Usage and nuance: zdokumentována emphasizes that documentation exists or has been produced, often implying credibility or verifiability through attached sources or materials. It is common in academic, journalistic, and legal contexts where claims or data are supported by documents, evidence, or attachments.
