dokoneným

Dokoneným is a Czech grammatical form, specifically the instrumental singular of the participial adjective meaning “completed” or “finished.” It derives from the past participle dokonaný, formed from the verb dokonat, or from its variant forms in the language. In standard Czech, dokoneným appears most often in formal or literary texts to describe the state or result of an action that has been completed. It functions similarly to other instrumental adjectives, typically appearing with a noun in the instrumental case, often following the preposition s.

Usage and frequency in modern Czech

The form is relatively limited in everyday prose and is more common in administrative, legal, or historical writing where emphasis on the completed state is desired. In contemporary colloquial Czech, a more common equivalent is the participle form on a different stem, such as dokončeným, which carries a broader range of everyday usage. Dokoneným thus tends to appear in stylistic or precise descriptive contexts rather than in routine speech.

Examples

- S dokonaným dílem se tým vrátil z expedice. (The team returned with the completed work.)

- Projekt byl předán se dokonaným designem a schválen pro další fázi. (The project was handed over with the completed design and approved for the next phase.)

Relation to broader grammar

Dokoneným is part of the larger system of Czech participles and adjectives that take case endings. It illustrates how participial adjectives adapt to the instrumental case to express state, result, or manner associated with a prior action. In most modern texts, it coexists with and is often supplanted by more common participial forms, depending on register and emphasis.
