I would never say "I have a boughten shirt" or "I have a shirt that I bought" I think the only construct for that I could use without sounding wrong to myself would be "I bought a shirt" or "I boguht this shirt" or "I bought that shirt" or something to that degree... maybe "I bought me a shirt" -Aleks ______________________________________________________________________ Reklama: Nejenom anglicko-cesky slovnik: http://slovnik.seznam.cz
