Przygotowanego

Przygotowanego is the genitive singular masculine and the accusative singular masculine form of the Polish past passive participle przygotowany, meaning “prepared” or “ready.” It is a form that appears when the noun it modifies is masculine singular and in the genitive or accusative case.

In Polish, participles function as adjectives and must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case. Therefore przygotowanego is used with masculine singular nouns in genitive or accusative. Examples include: Widzę przygotowanego zawodnika (I see a prepared/ready athlete) and Brak przygotowanego programu (No prepared program). The form is not used as a predicate in standard sentence construction; the neutral predicate form is usually przygotowany (for masculine) or przygotowana/prepared variants that agree with the subject.

Usage notes emphasize that przygotowanego is mainly an inflected attributive form, appearing in contexts requiring non-nominative cases or in formal/bureaucratic language where genitive is common. In everyday Polish, the nominative/attributive form przygotowany is more frequent when the noun is the subject or complement of a sentence.

Etymology: the form derives from the verb przygotować (“to prepare”) with the prefix pr- and the agentive suffix -any/-ony, yielding the past passive participle przygotowany. The genitive/accusative form préparowanych aligns with standard Polish gender-number-case agreement rules for adjectives and participles.
