modifikován

Modifikován is a Czech past passive participle form meaning "modified." It is derived from the verb modifikovat, to modify or alter. The form modifikován is used for masculine singular in sentences such as "Soubor byl modifikován." Corresponding forms exist for other genders and numbers (modifikovaná, modifikované, modifikováno, modifikováni, modifikovány, etc.), reflecting Czech agreement.

The term is common in technical and scientific contexts, as well as in everyday language, to describe something that has undergone modification from its original state. It is frequently used in information technology to denote altered data or software, in biology or genetics to refer to organisms or processes that have been genetically or chemically modified, and in engineering or materials science to describe modified components or materials. In regulatory or auditing contexts, “modifikován” may indicate that a document, procedure, or dataset has been changed after initial creation.

Examples:

- Soubor byl modifikován bez autorizace.

- Modifikovaná verze programu nabízí nové funkce.

- Geneticky modifikovaný organismus byl schválen k dalším studiím.
