dokonywana

Dokonywana is a Polish term used in linguistics and grammar to describe the feminine singular form of the present passive participle of the verb dokonywać, meaning “being carried out” or “performed.” It functions as an adjective that modifies feminine nouns and agrees with them in gender and number.

Grammatical role and usage: As a participle, dokonywana conveys that an action is in progress or is being carried out, rather than completed. It is common in formal, technical, and procedural language, where the status of a process is being described. The form changes with gender and number to match the noun it describes; for example, dokonywana operacja refers to a procedure that is currently being carried out, while the phrase dokonywane operacje can describe multiple operations in progress.

Examples:

- dokonywana operacja (an operation being carried out)

- dokonywane operacje (operations being carried out)

Relation to other forms: Dokonywana is related to the verb dokonywać and to its other participle forms, such as masculine dokonywany and neuter dokonywane, which are used with different noun genders. It contrasts with dokonać or wykonany, which express completed or accomplished actions rather than ongoing ones.

Usage notes: The term is mainly encountered in descriptive or analytical writing about processes, procedures, or actions in progress. It should be distinguished from forms indicating completion (e.g., wykonana) to avoid misrepresenting the timing or status of an action.
