pouívané

Pouívané is not a standard term in Czech and appears to be a typographical variant of the adjective používané, which derives from the verb používat (to use). As written, pouívané does not have a recognized entry in formal dictionaries, but používané is widely used in technical, scientific, and descriptive writing to mean “that are used” or “utilized.”

Form and meaning

Používané is a past participle adjective; it denotes items, methods, or practices that are currently used or employed. It agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. Common examples include používané metody (methods that are used), používané nástroje (tools that are used), and používané postupy (procedures that are used). The term can convey habitual or standard practice within a given context.

Etymology and grammar

The form používané is built from the verb používat plus the adjectival suffix for participles. It is distinct from použité, the past passive participle of použít (to use, to apply), which marks something that has already been used or applied. The nuance between používané (used, in use) and použité (used, having been used) is important in precise descriptions.

Usage notes

In editing, it is advisable to correct pouívané to používané to reflect standard spelling. There is no known concept, movement, or entity officially named Pouívané; the term is best understood as a likely misspelling of the correct Czech form.
