пре́данный • (prédannyj)

1. past passive perfective participle of преда́ть (predátʹ)

пре́данный • (prédannyj) (comparative (по)пре́даннее or (по)пре́данней, superlative пре́даннейший)

1. devoted, faithful, loyal [with dative ‘to someone/something’]
2. devoted, faithful, loyal, staunch (in general)

• Note the difference in short forms. Other than the masculine singular, short forms with one н are used without a dative object (when speaking of someone's general temperament), but forms with two н's are used with a dative object (when speaking of someone's attitude towards a specific person or thing). In the feminine singular, the two meanings not only differ from each other in short form, but from the past participle of преда́ть (predátʹ):
  1. она́ пре́данна "she is faithful/loyal (in general)"
  2. она́ пре́дана своему́ му́жу "she is faithful/loyal to her husband"
  3. она́ предана́ свои́м дру́гом "she is betrayed by her friend"

with a dative object:

without a dative object:

• пре́данно (prédanno)
• пре́данность (prédannostʹ)
• пре́данный своему́ де́лу (prédannyj svojemú délu) (focused, dedicated, committed)
