Ustanowieni

Ustanowieni is a Polish term that functions as a past passive participle and an adjective meaning “established” or “instituted.” It describes persons, bodies, or rules that have been created or appointed by a formal act, such as a law, regulation, or official decision. The form is derived from the verb ustanowić (to establish, to found, to set up) with the suffix -eni, and it is most commonly used in official or legal language.

In Polish grammar, ustanowieni is the masculine personal plural form. Other gender and number forms exist to agree with the noun it modifies (for example, ustanowiony, ustanowiona, ustanowione). The word is typically used before or after a noun to indicate that the entity has been established by an authority.

Usage and context: Ustanowieni is often found in legal, administrative, or organizational texts to denote that individuals, bodies, or rules have been formally established or appointed. It carries a nuance of official status resulting from an act of establishment rather than mere creation or designation. It is closely related to synonyms such as powołani (appointed) and wyznaczeni (designated), though it emphasizes the formal establishment process.
