Wymawiane

Wymawiane is a Polish term derived from the verb wymawiać, meaning to pronounce or articulate. In grammar it functions as a participle used adjectivally, describing something that is spoken or pronounced rather than written. The form can modify nouns across gender and number, for example wymawiane słowa (words that are pronounced) or wymawiane dźwięki (sounds that are pronounced).

In linguistic and language-teaching contexts, wymawiane is commonly used to distinguish pronunciation from spelling. It helps annotate examples where the spoken form of a word diverges from its written form, and it can label the phonetic realization of a lexeme. The term often appears in dictionaries, phonetic descriptions, and pedagogical materials to indicate how a word is uttered in actual speech.

Morphologically, wymawiane is a participial form connected to wymawiać and is used to describe the pronunciation of nouns in a neutral, descriptive way. Its usage emphasizes the auditory aspect of language, contrasting with pisane (written) forms or orthographic representations. While not a technical term of a single theory, it is a practical label for discussions of pronunciation in everyday linguistic description and language learning.
