rezervované

Rezervované is a Czech adjective and past participle derived from the verb rezervovat, meaning to reserve or to book. It denotes that something has been set aside or allocated for a particular person, purpose, or time. The form is used in various contexts to indicate that an item, space, or resource is not available for general use because it has been earmarked for someone or something specific.

Etymology and usage: The term comes from the verb rezervovat, which in turn is related to Latin reservare and likely passed into Czech via other European languages. It is commonly inflected to agree with the gender and number of the noun it describes. For example, rezervované zboží (reserved goods) or rezervované místo (reserved place). In some contexts the same root appears in other forms such as rezervace (reservation) or rezervovat (to reserve).

Contexts and examples: In hospitality, one might see a hotel or restaurant notice stating that certain rooms or tables are rezervované. In retail or logistics, stock can be marked as rezervované to indicate it is held for a specific customer or order. In finance, funds may be labeled rezervované prostředky to show they are earmarked for a particular obligation. The term can also describe a person who is socially reserved, though more common phrases for personality use differ and depend on grammar.
