Pobranych

Pobranych is a past passive participle form of the Polish verb pobrać, meaning to take, draw, or collect. It functions as an adjective and is used to describe things that have been obtained or drawn from a source. The form pobranych is typically used with nouns in the genitive plural, reflecting the grammatical agreement in phrases that indicate items that have been obtained.

In practical use, pobranych appears in contexts such as data and samples. Common examples include data or information that has been obtained from sources, for instance dane pobranych z ankiet (data collected from surveys) or wysokość pobranych opłat (the amount of fees collected). The phrase conveys that the items were acquired through an acting process or procedure, often by an authority, researcher, or organization.

The term also appears in medical and laboratory settings when referring to materials obtained from individuals, though the exact form used may vary with the noun. While pobrane is a closely related form used for neuter or plural nouns in other contexts (e.g., próbki pobrane), pobranych is the genitive plural form that marks possession or attribution to the items that have been drawn or collected.

Etymologically, pobrać derives from the root brać (to take) with the prefix po-, yielding a meaning related to taking or drawing something during a procedure. In usage, pobranych reflects a formal or technical tone, common in official documents, reports, and scientific communication.
