Oddzielane

Oddzielane is a Polish participial form derived from the verb oddzielać (to separate, detach) or its perfective counterpart odzielić. In standard use it functions as a present passive participle and can serve as an adjective describing things that are being separated or kept apart. It is commonly found in neutral, technical, and descriptive prose to indicate an ongoing separation rather than a completed state.

Grammatical notes around oddzielane concern its agreement with the noun it modifies. As a participle, it agrees in gender and number with the noun, and appears in forms appropriate for the neuter singular and for plurals in many contexts. By contrast, oddzielone signals a completed or finished separation, serving as the past passive participle. The related masculine and feminine forms are used with masculine and feminine nouns respectively (for example, oddzielany, oddzielana), while oddzielane is frequently encountered with neuter nouns or in plural contexts.

Usage and nuance: oddzielane emphasizes an ongoing or current process of separation, such as in descriptions of procedures, experiments, or manufacturing steps where components are being separated from one another. It may also appear in more figurative language to describe elements that are being distinguished or separated conceptually.
