modifikované

Modifikované is a Slavic adjective, primarily used in Czech and Slovak, meaning "modified" or "altered." Grammatically it appears in various forms to agree with gender, number and case; "modifikované" is the nominative plural or neuter singular form, and is commonly used to describe objects, organisms, systems or data that have been changed from an original state.

In scientific and technical contexts the term often qualifies physical materials, biochemical compounds or engineered organisms. Examples include modifikované organismy (genetically modified organisms), chemicky modifikované polymery (chemically modified polymers), and modifikované materiály used to enhance properties such as durability, conductivity or biocompatibility. In computing and electronics it can describe modified software, firmware or hardware where functionality has been added or altered.

The word also appears in automotive and consumer-culture contexts to denote personalized or aftermarket changes, such as modifikované vozy (modified cars) or modifikované produkty. Use of the term carries neutral descriptive value but can imply ethical, legal or safety considerations depending on context—especially with genetically modified organisms or safety-critical modifications.

Translation into English is straightforward as "modified" or "altered," but contextual nuance should guide rendering (e.g., "genetically modified" for organisms). As a descriptor, modifikované is widely applicable across disciplines to denote intentional alteration from an original form.
