Zredukowanego

Zredukowanego is the genitive singular masculine form of the Polish adjective zredukowany, which means reduced. The base verb is zredukować (to reduce), and the participle form zredukowany is used as an adjective or participial phrase to describe something that has been reduced. In Polish, adjectives and participles decline by gender, number, and case, so zredukowany appears as zredukowanego in masculine genitive singular, zredukowanemu in masculine dative singular, and so on.

Etymology and morphology

The word combines the prefix z- (indicating reduction or removal) with redukować, which ultimately derives from Latin reducere. As a grammatical form, zredukowanego does not stand alone as a noun; it functions as a modifier that aligns with a masculine noun in genitive case within a sentence, for example in phrases describing a reduced amount or state.

Usage and contexts

Zredukowanego appears primarily in grammatically inflected phrases, especially in written Polish. It is common in technical, mathematical, economic, and scientific contexts when referring to a reduced quantity, dose, cost, risk, or other attribute that has been diminished. Examples include "stan zredukowanego podatku" (the state of the reduced tax) or "koszt zredukowanego projektu" (the cost of the reduced project). In general prose, speakers may use zredukowanego to convey the idea of something that has undergone reduction, while keeping proper grammatical agreement.
