Skierowane

Skierowane is a Polish term used as the past passive participle of the verb skierować and as an adjective meaning “directed” or “aimed.” It denotes that something has been directed toward a particular target, audience, or purpose, and it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. The root kier- signals direction, and skierować adds the sense of directing or targeting.

In everyday language, skierowane is common in phrases such as “list skierowany do ministra” (a letter addressed to the minister) or “kampania skierowana do młodzieży” (a campaign directed at young people). It is used to specify the intended recipients or the orientation of content, communications, or resources. The form adapts to different nouns and numbers, for example “tekst skierowany do czytelnika” (singular) and “tekst skierowany do czytelników” (plural).

In other domains, skierowane has specific technical uses. In mathematics and computer science, it describes directed objects, most notably in “graf skierowany” (directed graph) and “krawędzie skierowane” (oriented edges), indicating a one-way relationship between elements. In linguistics and media studies, the term helps distinguish content designed for a particular demographic or audience.

Overall, skierowane conveys intention and targeting, functioning as a versatile descriptor across prose, formal writing, marketing, and technical contexts. See also related terms such as kierunek (direction), adresować (to address), and ukierunkować (to steer in a direction).
