Aktualizowana

Aktualizowana is a feminine singular form derived from the Polish verb aktualizować (to update). It is used as an adjective or participle to describe something that is being updated or has been updated, and it agrees with feminine nouns such as wersja, strona, dokument.

Grammatically, aktualizowana functions as a feminine form of a participle or adjective. It commonly appears before a feminine noun, for example aktualizowana wersja (the updated version) or aktualizowana strona (the page that is being updated). It can also appear in predicate constructions, such as ta strona jest aktualizowana (this page is being updated). In contexts describing finished updates, a related form with a prefix is used: zaktualizowana dla feminine nouns (e.g., zaktualizowana baza danych – the database has been updated).

Nuances and contrasts, sources and usage. The form aktualizowana often implies an ongoing process or a general state of being current, while zaktualizowana emphasizes completion or result. This distinction mirrors similar pairs in Polish where a prefixal perfective form (zaktualizować) marks finished action, contrasted with the imperfective Aktualizować for ongoing action. In technical and administrative language, aktualizowana is common in phrases like aktualizowana dokumentacja or aktualizowana polityka.

Etymology. The word is built from the noun aktualizacja (update) and the verb aktualizować (to update), both derived from aktualny (current, actual), which traces back to sources meaning current or real.
