spojenými

Spojenými is the instrumental plural form of the Czech adjective spojený, meaning united, joined, or connected. It is used to indicate that two or more entities act in a coordinated or collaborative manner, typically in phrases formed with the preposition se (with) or with a noun in the instrumental case. In common usage, you will encounter constructions such as se spojenými silami (with united forces) or spojenými státy americkými (with the United States of America). When used as part of a proper noun, capitalization is preserved for the name, for example se Spojenými státy americkými.

Usage notes: The form spojenými agrees with the gender, number, and case of the nouns it modifies. It is most often seen with masculine plural nouns in the instrumental case and in fixed expressions. It contrasts with spojený, the masculine singular nominative form, and with spojení, a noun meaning connection or alliance.

Etymology: Spojenými derives from the adjective spojený, itself formed from the verb spojit (to join) with the suffix -ný, producing a meaning of united or joined.
