celowanych

Celowanych is a Polish language form derived from the verb celować, meaning to aim at or to target. In linguistic terms it is a past passive participle used as an adjective, indicating that something has been aimed at or selected as a target. The form celowanych is the masculine personal genitive plural or accusative plural of celowany, and occurs when referring to groups or objects that are the targets of action.

The term belongs to a class of participial adjectives in Polish that are formed from verbs of action and used to describe the relationship between the action and its object. In everyday usage, celowany means “targeted” or “aimed at.” The inflected form celowanych appears in contexts such as descriptive or technical texts: for example, “grupa celowanych odbiorców” (a group of targeted recipients) or “operacje prowadzone wobec celowanych” (operations directed at the targets). It is not a separate concept but a grammatical form that enables precise case marking.

In translation and linguistics, celowanych is typically glossed as “targeted” or “aimed at” and is used to describe whom or what is being targeted. It can be contrasted with related forms such as celowy (deliberate) and celować (to aim). See also: celowy, celować, celowanie.
