zvolená

Zvolená is the feminine singular past passive participle of the verbs zvolit (Czech) and zvoliť (Slovak), meaning to elect or to choose. It functions as an adjective indicating that a feminine noun has been selected or elected. It agrees with the gender of the noun; the masculine counterpart is zvolený and the neuter counterpart is zvolené. In many contexts the form is used to describe a person who has been elected, for example: Zvolená kandidátka získala více hlasů. The phrase can also refer to non-political selections, such as a zvolená trasa or zvolená možnost, meaning a route or option that has been chosen.

In usage, zvolená appears in formal and administrative language, including election reports, official statements, and media coverage. The term derives from the root vol- related to words such as volba (vote), volič (voter), and volit/zvolit (to vote, to elect). The feminine form helps distinguish subject gender and aligns with feminine nouns in Czech and Slovak.

Notes: In Czech and Slovak, precision in gender and case is important; verify agreement with the noun and the sentence structure when using zvolená in formal writing.
