Zmieniane

Zmieniane is a Polish word form derived from the verb zmieniać, meaning to change. It functions as a present passive participle and as an adjective, indicating that a noun is undergoing modification or is subject to change. As a participle, zmieniane can appear in non-finite clauses and can be used both attributively and predicatively.

Morphology and usage describes how zmieniane behaves with nouns. In Polish, participles agree with the noun they modify, so zmieniane has variants for different genders and numbers, such as zmieniany (masculine singular), zmieniana (feminine singular), and zmieniane (neuter singular or plural, depending on grammatical context). In practice, it is seen in phrases like dane zmieniane (data being changed) or ustawienia zmieniane przez komisję (settings being changed by the committee).

Usage notes highlight that zmieniane is common in formal, technical, or administrative language, especially when describing processes where values, parameters, or rules are undergoing modification. It also appears in software interfaces and documentation to label items that can be altered, for example: "wartości zmieniane przez użytkownika" (values changed by the user).
