ovlivována

The Czech verb *ovlivňovat* (infinitive form) translates to "to influence" in English. Its past passive participle, *ovlivňován*, serves as an adjective or verb form indicating that something or someone is being influenced or affected by an external factor. The feminine singular form, *ovlivována*, is the past passive participle used in the feminine gender, singular number.

In Czech grammar, *ovlivována* functions primarily as a passive participle, meaning it describes a subject undergoing an action rather than performing it. For example, in the sentence *"Tento proces je ovlivován mnoha faktory,"* the phrase *"je ovlivován"* translates to "is influenced" and applies to the noun *"proces"* (process). When used as an adjective, it modifies nouns to indicate that they are affected by something else, such as *"ovlivovaná rozhodnutí"* (influenced decisions).

The term is commonly used in contexts discussing causality, decision-making, or external factors affecting behavior, systems, or outcomes. It appears frequently in scientific, social, and economic discussions, where understanding influences on variables or phenomena is critical. For instance, environmental policies might analyze how *"ekonomika je ovlivována"* (the economy is influenced by) climate change or political decisions.

In written and spoken Czech, *ovlivována* is often paired with auxiliary verbs like *být* (to be) to form passive constructions. Its usage reflects the broader grammatical structure of Czech, where participles play a key role in expressing tense, voice, and aspect. The form remains consistent in meaning regardless of context but adapts grammatically to agree with the noun it describes.
