upgradovaná

Upgradovaný is a Czech adjective formed from the English word upgrade with the Czech suffix -ovaný. It designates that something has been upgraded, improved, or modernized, often as part of a product revision, software release, or service package. The term is widely used in information technology, electronics, and consumer marketing, but can apply to any object or process that has received enhancements beyond its original state.

Usage and nuance: Upgradovaný emphasizes deliberate enhancement rather than mere maintenance. It can describe devices (upgradovaný notebook, upgradovaný firmware), software (upgradovaná verze softwaru), or services (upgradovaný tarif). In formal Czech one might prefer vylepšený or modernizovaný; upgradovaný is common in technical or marketing contexts and sometimes considered anglicized.

Grammar: as an adjective it agrees with the noun: upgradovaný (masculine singular), upgradovaná (feminine singular), upgradované (neuter singular or plural). It can be used predicatively ("Model byl upgradovaný") or attributively ("upgradovaný model").

Examples: "Tento notebook je upgradovaný na nejnovější procesor." "Firma vydala upgradovanou verzi softwaru s lepším zabezpečením." "Kupující obdržel upgradovaný telefon se zvýšenou kapacitou baterie."

Relation to terms: aktualizovaný means updated in a general sense, while upgradovaný conveys a higher level of enhancement. Synonyma depending on context include vylepšený and modernizovaný.
