A special case of the omission of relative pronoun

A general type of the omission of relative pronoun is the following.

He is the man [who was] seen the other day.

I’ve brought back the book [that was] given to me.

But I don’t know if besides, there exists a case of omission where the place from which ’which is,’ ’that was,’ etc. is omitted followed by an adjective. Instead of a past participle. Their function is the same, after all. I’m talking about the following.

This time, too, everything usual in such days has really happened.

They’ve offered us cakes traditional on this holiday.

He is a man happy everywhere.

You are not just omitting the relative pronoun, but also the auxiliary verb. Doing that leaves a non-fi
