zabudnutí

Zabudnutý is a Slovak adjective and past participle meaning forgotten. It is derived from the verb zabudnúť, meaning to forget. As an adjective it describes a noun that has been forgotten or neglected, such as a forgotten item, memory, or event. It can convey a range of nuances from simple forgetfulness to neglect or disregard, depending on context.

In usage, zabudnutý can modify nouns to indicate that something has not been recalled or brought to attention. It can refer to memories that fade over time, documents left in a drawer, or places that have fallen into neglect. The term often carries emotional undertones of nostalgia, loss, or irony, but it can also be neutral, simply signaling absence of remembrance or neglect.

Grammatically, zabudnutý is a past participle that agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. The masculine singular nominative form is zabudnutý; feminine singular is zabudnutá; neuter singular is zabudnuté. Plural forms vary with gender and case in the same way as other adjectives ending in -ný.

Translations into English include forgotten, neglected, or overlooked, depending on context. Zabudnutý is closely related to other Slovak expressions that convey neglect or lapse, such as opustený (abandoned) or zabudnutie (the act or state of forgetting).
