Dekodowane

Dekodowane is a Polish term formed as an adjective and past participle from the verb dekodować, meaning to decode. It indicates that information, data, or signals have been decoded or converted from an encoded form into a readable or usable form. The prefix de- signals reversal of encoding, while the root kod- relates to a code or encoding. The form dekodowane is used with neuter singular nouns or in plural contexts and agrees with the noun it modifies (for example: dekodowane dane, dekodowany sygnał, dekodowana wiadomość).

In technical and scientific usage, dekodowane describes the state of material after the decoding process. The corresponding noun is dekodowanie, referring to the act or process of decoding. Dekodowane data are commonly encountered in computing, telecommunications, digital media, and data analysis, where encoded information is retrieved for processing or presentation. The term can appear in discussions of video and audio streams, sensor outputs, or compressed files that are converted to usable forms.

Dekodowane is often contrasted with encoded forms (kodowane or zakodowane) and, in contexts involving security, with decrypted or deszyfrowane information. While dekodowanie focuses on converting from encoded to decoded form, the choice of terms for security-sensitive data may vary depending on whether the emphasis is on encoding, decoding, or cryptographic reversal.
