nadawana

Nadawana is a Polish present passive participle form of the verb nadawać, meaning to broadcast, transmit, or dispatch. As a participle, nadawana functions as an adjective and agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies. Nadawana is feminine singular; nadawany is masculine singular; nadawane is neuter singular or any plural form.

In media language, nadawana commonly describes programs, broadcasts, or items that are currently being transmitted. Examples include audycja nadawana codziennie o 18:00 (the program is broadcast daily at 6 p.m.) and wiadomość nadawana na żywo (a live broadcast of the news). The construction emphasizes the ongoing or scheduled nature of the transmission.

Nadawana can also appear in broader contexts to indicate that something is broadcast or transmitted by a broadcaster, not only in radio or television but in streaming or online media as well. As a grammatical form, it is contrasted with nadawany, nadawane, and nadawani, which correspond to other gender and number agreements.

Related terms include nadawanie, the noun for the act of broadcasting or transmitting; nadawca, the broadcaster or sender; and nadawanie radiowe or nadawanie telewizyjne, referring to radio and television broadcasting respectively. The root nadawać derives from a Slavic verb meaning to give out or emit, with the prefix na- contributing to the sense of discharge or dissemination.

Usage notes: nadawana is typically placed before or after the noun it describes, depending on emphasis and sentence structure. For example: Audycja nadawana w sieci.
