Zhoreným

Zhoreným is a Slovak word that translates to "burnt" in English. It is the past passive participle of the verb "zhoreť," which means to burn down or to be consumed by fire. The word can be used to describe objects, places, or even food that has been damaged by fire. For example, one might say "zhorený dom" (burnt house) or "zhorené jedlo" (burnt food).

The adjective "zhorený" can also be used in a figurative sense to describe something that is ruined or destroyed, not necessarily by fire. For instance, a failed business venture could be described as "zhorený projekt" (a burnt project). Similarly, a person who has experienced a great loss or disappointment might be metaphorically described as "zhorený."

The word is derived from the Proto-Slavic root *gorěti, meaning "to burn." This root is shared with many other Slavic languages, such as Czech (hořet), Polish (goreć), and Russian (гореть). The Slovak word "zhorený" is commonly used in everyday language and literature.
