sníenou

Sníenou is a feminine singular form in Czech that functions as a past passive participle of the verb snít or sníti (to dream). It is not a standalone lexeme; rather, it is the declined form used to describe a feminine noun in the accusative or instrumental case, typically in literary or poetic contexts. The corresponding masculine form is sníený and the feminine nominative form is sníená. The form sníenou appears when the participle accompanies a feminine noun and the overall phrase is in an accusative or instrumental construction.

Etymology and morphology: sní-t is the root related to dreaming or imagining. The participle is inflected with standard Czech -ený family endings, yielding sníený (masc.), sníená (fem., nominative), and sníenou (fem., accusative or instrumental).

Usage and register: In contemporary everyday Czech, sníenou is relatively rare and most often encountered in literary, poetic, or historical texts. It serves to attribute to a feminine noun the sense of having been dreamed or imagined.

Examples and note: A typical usage is with a feminine noun in instrumental singular, such as sníenou představou, meaning “with a dreamed/imagined notion.” This demonstrates how the participle agrees with the gender and case of the noun it modifies.

Related forms include sníený (masculine), sníená (feminine nominative), and other inflected forms of the same participle. See also snít, snění, and other past participles formed with the -ený pattern.
