Wskazywane

Wskazywane is a form of the Polish verb wskazywać and functions as a participial adjective meaning “indicated” or “pointed out.” It is used to describe things that have been identified or designated by someone or something in a given context. The word arises from the verb wskazywać, which means to indicate, point to, or show.

In Polish grammar, wskazywane is the present passive participle form and agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. Its basic inflected forms include wskazywany (masculine), wskazywana (feminine), and wskazywane (neuter or plural). As an adjectival participle, it can appear before a noun (as a prenominal modifier) or predicatively in a sentence, for example: Wskazywane reguły są proste (The indicated rules are simple) or Te błędy są wskazywane przez auditorów (These errors are indicated by auditors). The construction often implies that an external source or authority has pointed to or identified the item.

Usage notes: wskazywane typically appears in formal, academic, or technical writing. It is distinguished from wskazany (the past participle “indicated” or “pointed out” as a state resulting from a prior indication) and from wskazywanie (the act of indicating). The choice between wskazywane and related forms depends on the gender/number of the noun and on whether the sense is ongoing (present) or completed.
