zapsané

Zapsaný is a Czech term functioning as a past participle and adjective derived from the verb zapsat, which means to write down, record, or enter into a list or registry. The basic meaning is that something has been written into a document, list, or database, thereby establishing its official status as recorded. The word is commonly used in bureaucratic, administrative, and legal language to describe a person, document, or item that appears in a registry or file.

In practice, zapsaný describes something that has been entered or filed. For example, zapsaný protokol refers to a protocol that has been recorded; zapsaná poznámka refers to a note that has been written down; zapsaný občan can denote a citizen who is registered in a population or electoral register. The phrase is frequently used with prepositions such as v (in) or do (into) to indicate where the entry was made, as in zapsaný v registru or zapsaný do seznamu.

Grammar-wise, zapsaný agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. The masculine singular form is zapsaný, while feminine and neuter forms are zapsaná and zapsané, respectively. Plural forms align with standard Czech adjective declension. As an attributive modifier, it can appear before the noun (zapsaný dokument) or predicatively in sentences like "Je zapsaný v seznamu."

Etymology: zapsaný is formed from zapsat, the perfective of psat with the prefix za-/z- indicating the action of writing down or entering. Related terms include zapsání (the act of recording) and záznam (a record or entry).
