Przewidywana

Przewidywana is a Polish adjective meaning “predicted” or “expected.” It is used to describe events, quantities, or conditions that are projected forward in time or estimated before they occur. The form reflects agreement with the noun in gender, number, and case and derives from the verb przewidywać (to foresee) or its perfective counterpart przewidzieć.

Morphology and usage notes: In feminine singular it appears as przewidywana (e.g., przewidywana data). In masculine singular it is przewidywany (e.g., przewidywany koszt). In neuter singular and in plural forms, the form tends to be przewidywane or przewidywane koszty, depending on the noun's gender and number (e.g., przewidywane koszty). The adjective is common in formal writing, including forecasts, planning documents, statistical reports, and project assessments.

Semantic distinction: przewidywana contrasts with przewidywalny, which means “predictable” in the sense of being easy to foresee or certain, and with oczekiwany, which means “expected” in a more general or desirable sense. Przewidywana emphasizes forecast or projection based on analysis or models, rather than mere hope.

Related forms: from przewidywać and przewidzieć, with nouns such as przewidywanie (forecasting/estimation) and przewidywalność (predictability).
