Questions & Answers about Эта рецензия написана так ясно, что её приятно читать даже на рассвете.
Написана is the short passive participle of написать. In this kind of sentence, Russian uses it the way English uses is written or has been written:
Эта рецензия написана = This review is written / has been written
Russian normally leaves out the present-tense is, so there is no separate word for it. Because написать is perfective, написана suggests a completed action with a present result: the review now exists in a clearly written form.
Because ясно here means clearly, not clear.
- ясная would be an adjective agreeing with рецензия
- ясно works adverbially and describes how the review is written
So:
- рецензия ясная = the review is clear
- рецензия написана ясно = the review is written clearly
In this sentence, the second idea is what Russian wants.
