It denotes that an action, event, or characteristic occurs more than once or is repeated over time. As a descriptive form, powtarzane is used to modify nouns to express repetition, for example, powtarzane lekcje (repeated lessons), powtarzane motywy (recurrent motifs), or powtarzane dźwięki (repeated sounds).

In practical use, powtarzane appears across various domains. In education, it emphasizes the role of repetition in learning and practice. In literature and film, it marks recurring motifs or scenes.
