regulaných

Regulaných is a grammatical form that appears in some Slavic language varieties as the genitive plural of the adjective regulovaný, meaning "regulated." In contemporary standard Slovak and Czech, the common genitive plural of this adjective is regulovaných. Therefore, regulaných is typically regarded as nonstandard, dialectal, or a historical/orthographic variant that may appear in certain texts or informal writing.

As a modifying form, regulaných would function to describe multiple regulated items in phrases where the governing noun is in the genitive case. Because the standard form is regulovaných, regulaných is not normally used in formal prose. The word belongs to a semantic field related to regulation, control, and standardization, and it commonly appears in contexts involving rules, procedures, or legal/regulatory language, albeit less often in its regulaných variant.

Etymology and morphology: regulan- reflects the root regul- derived from Latin regula, with Slavic adjective-forming patterns added to indicate number and case. The precise inflection can vary by dialect and historical period, which explains why regulaných is encountered less frequently than regulovaných in modern usage. In practical writing, speakers and writers typically employ regulovaných when referring to “regulated” items in the genitive plural.
