There are two ways to form the passive voice in Czech:

1. By the verb být (to be) and the passive participle (as in English):

Město bylo založeno ve 14. století. The town was founded in the 14th century.

2. By adding the reflexive pronoun se:

Ono se neudělalo. It has not been done.
To se vyrábí v Číně. It is produced in China.

However, the use of se is not exclusive to the passive voice.
