psaných

Psaných is a Czech word form that serves as the genitive plural of the adjective past participle psaný, meaning written. The base word psaný comes from the verb psát, “to write,” and functions as an adjective describing something that has been written. In Czech, participial adjectives decline like other adjectives and agree with the noun they modify in gender, number and case; the form psaných appears specifically when the noun is in genitive plural.

In practice, psaných is most often seen in phrases describing a group of written items or texts, where the noun is in genitive plural. Examples include the number of written documents (počet psaných dokumentů), the content of written notes (obsah psaných poznámek), or the titles of written books (názvy psaných knih). The form thus marks modification of a plural noun in genitive, regardless of the gender of that noun.

Psaný has related forms for other genders and cases, such as psaná (feminine singular nominative), psané (neuter singular nominative or other contexts), and psaných (genitive plural). These variants share the same root meaning, “written,” and appear across different syntactic positions in sentences.

Etymologically, psaných derives from psát and reflects the broader pattern of Czech participial adjectives, which describe resulting states or characteristics of nouns. In contemporary usage, psaných appears in standard and formal prose, especially in administrative, legal, and literary contexts, where precise agreement with the accompanying noun is required.
