Wspomaganym

Wspomaganym is the instrumental singular form of the Polish participle wspomagany, derived from the verb wspomagać (to assist, to support). It is used to describe a masculine noun in the instrumental case that is receiving assistance or support. The form commonly appears in noun phrases and clauses to indicate that the described entity is aided by another agent or by a supporting mechanism.

Grammatically, wspomaganym functions as a participial adjective and agrees with the noun it describes in gender, number, and case. It is one of several participial forms derived from wspomagać, used primarily in attributive positions within sentences. In everyday Polish, it appears in contexts such as healthcare, technology, and social care, where processes, devices, or people provide support.

Usage notes can help distinguish its meaning from related terms. Wspomaganym emphasizes the role of assistance or backing, rather than the action itself. It is often contrasted with forms that describe action performed by the subject, rather than support received by the subject.

Examples:

- System wspomagany sztuczną inteligencją został wdrożony. (A system aided by artificial intelligence has been implemented.)

- Pacjent wspomagany przez zespół rehabilitacyjny przebywa w domu. (A patient aided by a rehabilitation team stays at home.)
