kwalifikowan

Kwalifikowan is not an independent word in standard Polish. It is the stem of the adjective kwalifikowany, meaning qualified or credentialed. In normal prose, one uses kwalifikowany (masc. singular nominative), kwalifikowana (fem. sing.), or kwalifikowane (neut. sing. and plurals). The form kwalifikowan- appears inside declined forms such as kwalifikowanego (genitive singular), kwalifikowanemu (dative singular), and kwalifikowanych (genitive plural or accusative plural). The most common plural nominatives are kwalifikowani (masc. plur.) and kwalifikowane (fem./neut. plur.). The root kwalifik- comes from the verb kwalifikować and ultimately from Latin qualificare.

In practice, kwalifikowan is not used as a stand-alone lemma; if you see it printed, it is usually a truncated form, a stem presented in a grammar table, or a misspelling of kwalifikowany. For dictionary or linguistic references, the entry would be kwalifikowany, with the various declined forms listed.

Semantics and usage: kwalifikowany describes people, credentials, or objects that meet defined requirements or qualifications. It is used in contexts such as employment, licensing, or standards. Related terms include kwalifikacja (qualification), kwalifikować (to qualify), and kwalifikacyjny (qualificational or qualification-related), with kwalifikacyjny appearing in compounds.

This note indicates that kwalifikowan functions primarily as a grammatical stem rather than a standalone term, and proper usage is with its full forms.
