nagrodzona

Nagrodzona is a Polish feminine singular past passive participle formed from the verb nagrodzić, meaning to reward or award. It denotes that a female subject has received an award and functions as an adjective or as part of a compound noun phrase. In use, nagrodzona agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies.

Common examples illustrate its function: nagrodzona książka refers to an award-winning book, while nagrodzony film describes a film that has received a prize. Likewise, nagrodzona artystka can describe a female artist who has been honored with an award. The masculine and neuter forms are nagrodzony and nagrodzone, respectively, and the forms change to match the noun they describe.

In Polish style, nagrodzona is often employed in journalism, literature, and public discourse to concisely indicate recognition or prize status. It can appear before the noun it modifies (as in nagrodzona praca) or in constructions that place the noun first and the participle after it, depending on emphasis and syntax. The term is distinct from but related to laureat/laureatka, which specifically denote the person who wins a prize, while nagrodzona focuses on the act or result of having been awarded.

See also: nagroda, nagrodzony, laureat, laureatka. The word itself is not a proper noun and is not used as a standalone title; it primarily functions as a descriptive form indicating that an award has been conferred.
