podepsáno

Podepsáno is a Czech term that functions as a neuter singular past passive participle of the verb podepsat, meaning “signed.” It is used as an adjective to indicate that a document, form, agreement, or other item has had a signature affixed or has been officially signed. In practice, podepsáno appears in administrative and legal language as a status marker, often on forms or in brief notes to show that the signing step has been completed.

Morphology and usage notes: The full paradigm of the verb podepsat yields several participle forms: podepsan (masculine), podepsaná (feminine), and podepsané (neuter). The neuter form podepsáno is used with neuter nouns or in predicative constructions initiated by the verb být (to be). For example, “Potvrzení je podepsáno” (the certificate is signed) uses the neuter form in a predicative sense, while “Smlouva je podepsaná” uses the feminine form because smlouva is feminine. In many official contexts, podepsáno may appear as a concise status label on a document or checklist.

Related terms: The related noun is podpis (signature); related verbs include podepsat, podpisovat (to sign, to sign repeatedly), and the adjective/predicative forms such as podepsaný, podepsaná, podepsané used respectively with masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns.
