odczytywana

Odczytywana is a feminine singular form of the present passive participle of the Polish verb odczytywać, meaning to read out or to recite. In Polish, passive participles can function as adjectives and must agree in gender and number with the noun they describe. As a result, odczytywana describes a feminine singular noun that is being read or recited by someone else. The participle can appear in present or past contexts when combined with auxiliary verbs, e.g., jest odczytywana (is being read) or była odczytywana (was being read).

Usage of odczytywana is common in both literary and journalistic writing, as well as in descriptions of text processing or performances where a text is read aloud. It often appears in sentences such as: Książka jest odczytywana przez nauczyciela. or Powieść odczytywana przez publiczność zyskuje nowe znaczenie. The form can also function in a non-predicative role, modifying a feminine noun: fragment odczytywana to często odnosi się do części tekstu, która była lub jest odczytywana.

Etymology and related forms: odczytywana is derived from odczytywać, with the participial suffix appropriate for feminine singular subjects. Related forms include odczytywanie (the action or process of reading out) and odczytywany/odczytywana, odczytywani/odczytywane for masculine and neuter agreements. The choice of form depends on the gender and number of the noun governed by the participle.

The term is primarily a grammatical description and appears in linguistic, editorial, and literary contexts to denote that a text is being read aloud or interpreted by someone.
