uvedena

Uvedena is a grammatical form in Czech, specifically the feminine singular past passive participle of the verb uvést, meaning to introduce, present, or publish. It functions to describe a feminine noun that has had something introduced or stated. In standard Czech, past passive participles decline to agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun they modify. The masculine form is uveden, the neuter form is uvedeno, and the feminine form is uvedena.

Usage and meaning: Uvedena is commonly found in formal writing, such as legal texts, reports, and press statements, where it signals that information or rules have been introduced or presented. It often appears with auxiliary verbs like byla, bylo, or byli in past-tense constructions to form a past passive predicate. For example: V dokumentu byla uvedena skutečnost, že projekt pokračuje. Here, skutečnost is a feminine noun, and uvedena agrees accordingly.

Diacritics and orthography: In texts without diacritics, uvedena can appear as uvedena or uvedena depending on the transcription system. In proper Czech spelling, the feminine form is typically written as uvedena (with the appropriate diacritics in standard orthography).

Notes: Uvedena is primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical item. It appears in various contexts where something is stated as having been introduced or presented, often in formal or analytical prose. Related terms include uvést (to introduce/present), uvedení (the act of introducing), and other participial forms that reflect gender and number.
