Zbudowani

Zbudowani is the plural masculine personal past passive participle form of the Polish verb zbudować, meaning built or constructed. It functions as an adjective or a predicate adjective and agrees with a masculine personal plural noun. In standard usage, it describes subjects that have been built or created, whether objects, structures, or metaphorical constructs.

Morphology and related forms: The base verb is zbudować. Related participle forms include zbudowany (masculine singular), zbudowana (feminine singular), and zbudowane (neuter singular or plural). The plural masculine personal form zbudowani is used when referring to a group of people or beings that are described as having been built, or in certain metaphorical or fictional contexts. In everyday architectural or technical writing, zbudowane is far more common for describing built objects or structures.

Usage: Zbudowani is relatively rare in ordinary prose and is more likely to appear in literary, speculative, or metaphorical contexts where a group or entities are described as having been constructed. It can also occur in historical or descriptive passages when emphasizing the completion of construction by a collective subject. For concrete, non-metaphorical descriptions of buildings and similar objects, zbudowane is the typical choice.

Etymology: The word derives from the prefix z- plus the root bud- from the verb budować (to build), with the customary participial suffix -oni to form the masculine personal plural. It parallels other past participle forms in gender and number agreement.
