Zaadaptowany

Zaadaptowany is a Polish adjective and participle derived from the verb zaadaptować, meaning to adapt or adjust something to a new purpose, condition, or audience. The word describes the result of such action—i.e., that something has been modified to fit a different context. It is commonly used for media, products, or documents that have been altered from their original form to suit new requirements.

From a linguistic standpoint, zaadaptowany is a past passive participle that agrees with the noun it modifies. Forms include: masculine personal zaadaptowany, feminine zaadaptowana, neuter zaadaptowane; plural zaadaptowani (m.‑pl), zaadaptowane (n./m. non‑personal). The related verb is zaadaptować; the corresponding noun is adaptacja.

Common contexts include film or literary adaptations (zaadaptowany film/zaadaptowana powieść), software or hardware tailored for a different market, or a text rewritten for a new audience. The term often implies a deliberate modification rather than a mere translation, though in everyday usage it can be used more broadly to indicate any adaptation.

Note that zaadaptowany is not the same as adoptowany, which means “adopted.” The noun form adaptacja refers to the process of adapting; zaadaptowany denotes the outcome of that process.
