Poddawani

Poddawani is a Polish term that functions as the present passive participle of the verb poddawać, meaning to subject someone or something to an action or process. It is used to describe those who are on the receiving end of an action, rather than the initiator. In practice, poddawani acts like an adjective or a participle that agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number.

Etymology and form: The word is built from the prefix pod- and the verb dawać, and it carries the sense of being subjected to something. Like other Polish participles, poddawani is declined to match the noun it accompanies, and it can function in descriptive phrases such as “ludzie poddawani exami nkom” or “przy poddawani procedurom” in proper contexts.

Usage: The form appears across legal, medical, and ethical discourse to denote groups or individuals undergoing procedures, tests, or rules. For example, it may be used in sentences describing persons who are subjected to examinations, experiments, inspections, or regulatory processes. The exact construction may involve different cases or prepositions depending on what is being subjected and to whom.

Variants and grammar: The participle has several forms to agree with gender and number, including masculine singular (poddawany), feminine singular (poddawana), neuter singular (poddawane), and plural forms such as poddawani (masculine personal) and poddawane (feminine or neuter/plural). It can function as a predicative descriptor or as a modifier within noun phrases.
