oczekiwane

Oczekiwane is a Polish adjective and past passive participle meaning "expected" or "anticipated."

The word is used to describe things that are awaited or regarded as likely to occur.

In usage, oczekiwane describes various objects or events that are anticipated. Common collocations include phrases such as oczekiwane wyniki, oczekiwane wydarzenia, and oczekiwane zmiany, conveying that the mentioned items are expected or planned. The form can appear as a predicate adjective, as in a sentence like Wnioski są oczekiwane (The conclusions are expected), or before a noun, e.g., oczekiwane rezultaty badań (the expected results of the study).

Polish adjectives of this type decline like standard adjectives: masculine singular form oczekiwany, feminine singular form oczekiwana, and masculine personal plural form oczekiwani. The form oczekiwane is used with neuter nouns and with feminine plural or other non-masculine plural contexts.
