Zaplacono

Zaplacono is a Polish term that denotes that payment has been completed. It is the impersonal past passive form of the verb zapłacić, and is widely used in financial, administrative, and commercial writing to indicate that an obligation has been settled.

Etymology and grammar: The verb zapłacić combines the prefix za- with the stem płacić (to pay), yielding a perfective meaning of “to pay off” or “to settle.” The form zapłacono is used without a specified subject and functions as a neutral statement about payment. Active forms exist as zapłacił (he paid), zapłaciła (she paid), and zapłacili (they paid), while zapłacono serves as an impersonal construction appropriate for documents where the payer is not named or is generic.

Usage: In invoices, receipts, banking records, and official notices, Zapłacono appears to confirm that a debt or charge has been settled. Examples include statements like “Zaplacono fakturę nr 123/2024” or “Zaplacono całą należność w dniu 10 marca.” The term is commonly followed by the object of payment, such as faktura (invoice), rachunek (bill), or należność (debt). It can also appear in summaries or reports to indicate status changes from unpaid to paid.

Notes: While Zapłacono is primarily financial, its exact usage may vary by organization or jurisdiction within Poland, and similar forms may appear in administrative notices in Polish-speaking regions.
