opakovaná

Opakované is a Czech adjective and the past passive participle of the verb opakovat, meaning to repeat. It denotes that something has occurred again or has been repeated, reiterated, or recurring. The word is used across formal and informal contexts to describe events, statements, phenomena, or objects that are not new but appear more than once. In grammar, opakované agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number; the neuter singular nominative form is opakované, while masculine and feminine forms are opakovaný and opakovaná respectively.

Common examples include opakované chyby (repeated mistakes) or opakované slovo (the repeated word). In scientific or technical writing it can describe recurring phenomena or repeated measurements, and in literature it may signal motifs that recur throughout a work. English translations vary with nuance and may be given as “repeated,” “recurring,” or “reiterated.” The term derives from opakovat with the prefix op- meaning again; its adjectival form signals repetition rather than mere order or sequence. Opakované is primarily used to characterize something that has occurred more than once, emphasizing recurrence or reiteration.
