podávaných

Podávaných is a Czech form of the adjectival participle podávaný, derived from the verb podávat, which means to hand over, to serve, or to present. As a participial adjective, podávaný (and its declined forms) describes nouns and agrees with them in gender, number, and case. Podávaných is the genitive plural form, used when the described noun is in genitive plural. In practice, podávaných most commonly appears in noun phrases where the head noun is in genitive plural, such as in lists or references to items that have been served or submitted.

Usage and meaning

Podávaných functions to indicate that something has been served (for example food) or presented/submitted (such as evidence, documents, proposals). The exact sense depends on the noun it modifies. For example, in a culinary context it can mean dishes that were served, while in a legal or administrative context it can refer to evidence or documents that were submitted.

Examples

- Seznam podávaných pokrmů byl vyvěšen v jídelně. (The list of served dishes was posted in the dining room.)

- Podávaných důkazů nebylo dost na rozhodnutí soudu. (The presented/submitted evidence was not enough for the court to decide.)

Grammar notes

Podávaných is the genitive plural form of podávaný. It is used with masculine/neuter noun phrases in the genitive plural and can appear in various syntactic positions within a sentence, often following a head noun in a compound noun phrase or as part of a larger dependent clause. As with other adjectival participles, the form reflects the grammatical role of the modified noun rather than a standalone meaning.
