nezmenený

Nezmenený is a Slovak adjective meaning not changed, unchanged, or unmodified. It is formed from the verb zmeniť (to change) with the negating prefix ne- and the past passive participle zmenený. The word describes nouns that have retained their original form, content, or state, and it shares the typical agreement patterns of adjectives ending in -ný, matching gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies.

In usage, nezmenený appears in legal, administrative, scientific, and everyday contexts to indicate that something remains as it was. Common applications include phrases like nezmenený stav (unchanged state) or nezmenený text (unchanged text). It can modify a wide range of nouns, from objects and documents to conditions and parameters. The term often conveys a contrast with updated, amended, or altered elements, such as pozmenený or zmenený.

Etymologically, nezmenený reflects standard Slovak word formation: ne- expresses negation, while -ený marks the past participle serving as an adjective. Its use is neutral and factual, without evaluative undertones, making it suitable for descriptive or technical writing. In translations, nezmenený is typically rendered as unchanged or unmodified in English.

Related terms include nezmenená (feminine singular) and nezmenené (neuter or plural), with other inflected forms aligning with the noun’s gender and number. The antonym is zmenený (changed) or pozmenený (amended/altered), used when indicating that modification has occurred.
