Doprowadzana

Doprowadzana is a Polish feminine singular form of the present passive participle derived from the verb doprowadzić (or doprowadzać). It functions as an adjective-like form describing a female subject that is being brought to a certain state or condition by someone else’s actions. The form is used to emphasize the process of causing a state and is typically found in constructions with a copula (is/was being) or as a participial phrase modifying a noun.

Grammatically, doprowadzana is the feminine, singular version of the present passive participle. Other related forms exist to agree with gender and number: doprowadzany (masc.), doprowadzane (neuter or plural), and doprowadzona (feminine, often used as a past participle). The choice of form depends on the gender and number of the noun it modifies and on the particular aspect of the verb being conveyed.

Usage is common in literary, journalistic, and formal Polish. It conveys that someone or something is being led or brought to a specified state by another party, rather than acting independently. Typical collocations include phrases such as doprowadzana do rozpaczy (driven to despair) or doprowadzana do płaczu (brought to tears).

Examples:

- Jest doprowadzana do łez przez bezwzględnego rozmówcę.

- W powieści bohaterka była doprowadzana do szaleństwa przez własne lęki i okrutne wydarzenia.

Etymology: formed from the prefix do- plus prowadzać (lead) or prowadzić, yielding the sense of leading someone to a state.
