Dekodowany

Dekodowany is a Polish adjective and past participle derived from the verb dekodować (to decode). It describes something that has been decoded or is in the process of decoding, such as a message, data stream, file, or signal that has been converted from coded form into readable content. The term is used in technical, scientific, and everyday contexts to indicate a decoded state.

Etymology and formation: the word comes from the root kod- meaning code, combined with the prefix de- to denote reversal or undoing, and the typical Polish verb-derived participle pattern. Dekodować itself is a loanword, widely used in IT, telecommunications, and data processing, reflecting the action of translating encoded information back into its original form.

Grammar and usage: dekodowany is a regular adjective. Masculine singular form is dekodowany; feminine singular is dekodowana; neuter singular is dekodowane. In plural, masculine personal is dekodowani; non-masculine plural forms include dekodowane. The adjective agrees with the noun it describes, for example: dekodowany sygnał, dekodowana wiadomość, dekodowane dane.

Common contexts and examples: dekodowany sygnał, dekodowany plik, dekodowana treść. The term is prevalent in computing, telecommunications, media processing, and research when referring to information that has been translated from an encoded state into a form suitable for interpretation. In some contexts, the related noun dekodowanie denotes the act of decoding itself, while zdekodowany can emphasize that decoding has been completed.
