Nieuzyskania

Nieuzyskania is a Polish noun that denotes the act or result of not obtaining something; in English, it is commonly translated as “failure to obtain.” It is a nominalization built from the verb uzyskać (to obtain) with the negating prefix nie- and the suffix -anie, forming a neutral, formal term used in documentation and discourse.

The word most often appears in administrative, legal, and policy contexts. Typical collocations include nieuzyskanie zgody (failure to obtain consent), nieuzyskanie finansowania (failure to obtain funding), and nieuzyskanie licencji (failure to obtain a license). As a concrete phrase, it serves to describe outcomes in applications, decisions, appeals, or audits where a required permission, document, or resource was not granted.

Grammatically, nieuzyskania functions as a noun and is used to reference the act of not obtaining in a general or abstract sense. In sentence structure, it commonly forms the subject or a dependent predicate, for example: Nieuzyskanie zgody opóźniło projekt. Its usage is typically distinguished from related terms such as uzyskanie (the act of obtaining) or odmowa (refusal), which emphasize different aspects of the outcome.

Etymology: the term derives from uzyskać with prefix nie- and the nominalizing suffix -anie, yielding a concise, formal expression for non-obtainment.
