kontrolowanych

Kontrolowanych is a form of the Polish adjective and past passive participle kontrolowany, formed from the verb kontrolować (to control). It denotes something or someone that has been subjected to control, inspection, or regulation. The word is commonly used in legal, administrative, and research contexts to specify a set of objects or persons that were controlled.

In Polish grammar, kontrolowany behaves as an ordinary adjective or participle and agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. Kontrolowanych is the genitive plural form (and, in certain contexts, the accusative plural masculine personal form) of this adjective. This form appears when the noun it describes is in genitive or accusative plural, for example with a noun like urządzeń (devices) or pracowników (employees).

Typical usage examples:

- Liczba kontrolowanych urządzeń wzrosła. (The number of controlled devices increased.)

- Spośród kontrolowanych pracowników przeprowadzono audyt. (An audit was conducted among the controlled employees.)

In broader terms, kontrollowany/kontrolowanych can also be used in phrases indicating the group of individuals or items that have undergone control, though in many cases the standard nominative forms (kontrolowani for masculine personal nominative plural, kontrolowana for feminine singular, kontrolowane for neuter or feminine/neuter plural) are used depending on the noun’s gender and number.

Etymology and related terms: kontrolowanych comes from the verb kontrolować and the suffix -owany, which forms passive participles and adjectives. Related terms include kontrolować (to control) and kontrollowy, an adjective meaning control-related in some contexts.
