Drukowanego

Drukowanego is a form of the Polish adjective-participle drukowany, meaning printed or in print. It is used to describe something that has been produced by printing or exists in a printed form. Grammatically, drukowanego is a participial adjective and inflects for gender, number and case. The form drukowanego corresponds to masculine singular genitive or accusative, and to neuter singular genitive. For feminine nouns, the corresponding genitive form is drukowanej. In other cases the endings differ (for example, nominative masculine is drukowany, nominative feminine is drukowana).

In use, drukowanego appears in phrases where the noun it modifies is in genitive or in constructions that require a genitive-like form. Common examples include: strona drukowanego dokumentu (the page of the printed document) and treść drukowanego tekstu (the content of the printed text). The term is typical in formal, technical, bibliographic, or archival language when distinguishing between printed and non-printed forms or editions.

Etymology traces drukowanego to the verb drukować (to print) and the noun druk (press, printing). The root reflects the process and product of printing, a long-standing semantic domain in Polish. See also druk, drukować, drukowany.
