spojena

Spojená is the feminine singular form of the adjective spojný (joined, connected) in Czech and Slovak. It functions as an attributive or predicative adjective and agrees with feminine nouns in gender, number, and case. The word is derived from the verb spojit, meaning to join or connect, with the participial suffix -en/-ena that forms adjectives and past participles in these languages.

In grammatical use, spojena describes a state of being connected or linked. It appears in phrases and sentences to convey physical connections, networks, or relationships, such as a spojena síť (a connected network) or spojena města (connected cities). It can also describe more abstract linkages, including alliances or coordinated arrangements.

Semantically, spojena covers both literal junctions—such as infrastructure or objects that have been joined—and figurative connections, like relational or organizational linkages. The term often appears in technical, architectural, or infrastructural contexts, as well as in everyday speech when emphasizing cohesion or integration. It is contrasted with forms like oddělená (separate) or nespojená (not connected).

Toponymy and proper names may occasionally incorporate the form in a way that reflects the notion of connection or union within a place name or description, though such usage is largely contextual and historical rather than a fixed, standalone meaning.

Related terms include spojení (noun: connection, link), spojit (to join), spojenec (ally), splice or spojovací (connecting). These terms share the same linguistic root and are commonly used in discussions of connectivity, integration, and relationships.
