dopuszczany

Dopuszczany is a Polish adjective formed from the verb dopuszczać, meaning someone or something that is admitted, allowed, or accepted to participate in a given activity or to be part of a particular group. It functions as a passive or present participial adjective and agrees with gender and number: dopuszczany (masc. sing.), dopuszczana (fem. sing.), dopuszczane (neut. sing. or plural), dopuszczani (masc. pl.), dopuszczane (fem. pl. or neut. pl.).

Usage and meaning

In general language, dopuszczany describes status within rules or procedures, often indicating that a person, item, or action has received authorization or eligibility. It is commonly used with phrases like dopuszczany do czegoś, meaning admitted or eligible for a specific activity, right, or space. In legal, regulatory, or organizational contexts, the term emphasizes the process or condition of being permitted rather than the broader quality implied by dopuszczalny (permissible). The related noun is dopuszczenie (admission, allowance, permit).

Distinctions

Dopuszczany contrasts with dopuszczalny, which denotes that something is permissible in principle. Dopuszczalny refers to normative permissibility, whereas dopuszczany stresses the ongoing status of being allowed within a framework or procedure. Related verbs include zezwalać and pozwalać, which are often used to express permission, while dopuszczenie is the act or result of admitting.
