nahrazován

Nahrazován is a Czech present passive participle of the verb nahrazovat (to replace, to substitute). It denotes an action occurring at the moment of reference: something is being replaced or substituted. The participle can function as an adjective, agreeing with the gender and number of the noun it modifies, or appear in predicative constructions with the auxiliary být (to be).

Forms: It has gendered forms such as nahrazován (masculine singular), nahrazována (feminine singular), and nahrazováno (neuter singular). In plural, the endings follow standard Czech participial patterns for -ovat verbs, producing forms like nahrazováni and nahrazovány, with further variation by gender and case.

Usage: Nahrazován is used in formal, descriptive, or technical prose to stress the ongoing nature of substitution. It contrasts with nahrazen, the past participle meaning “replaced” and indicating a completed substitution. For example: “Toto slovo je nahrazováno novým výrazem.” (This word is being replaced by a new term.)

Etymology and related forms: The word is derived from the imperfective verb nahrazovat, with the participial suffix -ován. Related forms include nahrazování (the act of substitution) and other derivatives such as nahrazovací.
