Trzymane

Trzymane is a form derived from the Polish verb trzymać, meaning to hold or to keep. In grammar it functions as the past passive participle and is used as an attributive adjective describing objects or data that have been kept, held, or stored in a certain place or condition. The form is commonly found in neutral or feminine contexts and is used to indicate a state resulting from an action of keeping or holding.

In usage, trzymane is placed before or after the noun it describes, agreeing with the noun in gender and number. Typical contexts include storage, custody, or archival situations, for example: rzeczy trzymane w magazynie (items kept in a warehouse), dokumenty trzymane w archiwum (documents kept in an archive), or dane trzymane w chmurze (data kept in the cloud). It can also appear in predicative constructions: Dane są trzymane w bezpiecznym miejscu (The data are kept in a secure location).

Semantically, trzymane covers a range from physical holding to custodial keeping, including metaphorical senses such as keeping information confidential or maintaining a certain state or condition. It is distinct from the related noun trzymanie (the act of holding or keeping) and from the active participle trzymający (holding).

Etymology and related forms: trzymane comes from the verb trzymać, with the typical past passive participle suffix -ane in Polish. Related forms include trzymany (masculine singular), trzymana (feminine singular), and trzymane (plural or neuter forms, depending on the noun). The term is widely used in everyday language, law, logistics, and archival contexts to express that an object or data has been kept or stored.
