Przypisano

Przypisano is the neuter singular past passive form of the Polish verb przypisać, meaning to assign, attribute, or credit. It is used in formal language to indicate that an attribute, responsibility, authorship, or other property has been allocated to a person or entity by an agent who is often not specified. As a passive construction, przypisano emphasizes the result—that something has been assigned—rather than who performed the action.

In practice, przypisano appears in official reports, bibliographic records, and archival descriptions. For example, in notes or summaries one might read that findings or authorship were przypisano to a particular laboratory, researcher, or institution. The form can occur with explicit indirect objects, such as przypisano mu zadania (tasks were assigned to him), illustrating how the action is attributed to a recipient.

Related forms include przypisany (masculine singular adjective meaning “assigned” or “credited”) and its feminine and neuter equivalents. Polish also contains a closely related verb brzypisać/przypis/pisania, but it is important to distinguish przypisać from przepisać, which means to transcribe or rewrite. These verbs are not interchangeable, as they convey different actions.
