oznaeného

Označeného, in non-diacritic texts oznaeného, is the genitive singular form of the Czech adjective označený, meaning “marked,” “designated,” or “identified.” The form derives from the verb označit, “to designate” or “to mark.” In Czech, adjectives decline for gender, number and case, so the form označeného appears when the noun it modifies is masculine singular in the genitive case. For example: označeného muže (the designated man) or označeného svědka (the designated witness).

The term itself is grammatical rather than a separate lexical entry; it is used in language description, dictionaries, and translation notes to illustrate inflection. The standard, diacritic spelling is označeného; oznaeného is the corresponding form when diacritics are omitted, as may occur in some older texts, certain databases, or simplified typography. Because Czech adjectives change with gender and case, other forms exist for different grammatical contexts, but they share the same root meaning related to designating or marking.

In practice, označený and its inflected forms appear in legal, formal, or descriptive writing where a noun is specified or identified. Related terms include označení (designation) and the verb označit (to designate). The form označeného helps convey that a specific item or person has been designated or marked within a given discourse.
