povaovanú

Povaované is a form of the Slovak past passive participle from the verb považovať, meaning to regard or to consider. In usage, povaované denotes that something is regarded or considered a certain way by people, often in a general or formal sense. It is commonly translated as “considered” or “regarded” in English.

In grammar, považované functions as an adjective or predicative complement and agrees with the noun it modifies. For example, in a sentence like "Tieto teórie sú považované za pravdivé" the phrase means "These theories are considered true." The form adapts to the gender and number of the noun: masculine forms include považovaný, feminine forms považovaná, and the form považované is used for neuter nouns or in plural predicative constructions.

Typical contexts for povaované include academic, journalistic, and formal discourse, where statements about general consensus, official assessments, or widely held opinions are expressed. It is often contrasted with stronger verbs such as uznávané (recognized) or považované za; the choice depends on nuance—považované emphasizes common belief or perception, rather than formal or institutional recognition.

See also: považovať, považovanie, uznávať, vyvodzovať súdy. The term is a standard component of Slovak grammar and vocabulary for describing how things are viewed in public discourse.
