zvolených

Zvolených is a form used in Czech and Slovak grammar, functioning as the genitive plural of the past participle zvolený, which means chosen or elected. The base verb is zvolit, meaning to elect or to choose. As a genitive plural adjective, zvolených typically accompanies a noun to indicate the group of people who have been elected, for example in political or organizational contexts.

In use, zvolených appears in phrases such as poče t zvolených poslanců (the number of elected deputies) or seznam zvolených zástupců (the list of elected representatives). Because it is a genitive plural form, it agrees with the head noun in gender and count, and it often appears in compound noun phrases that refer to those who have achieved an electoral victory. The form can also appear in headlines or summaries where the noun itself is understood from context, with zvolených conveying “the elected ones.”

Etymologically, zvolených derives from the verb zvolit and the participial suffix -ný, with the genitive plural ending -ých. In Slovak, the same form appears with a parallel meaning and usage, reflecting the shared Slavic roots of the two languages.
