odrzucona

Odrzucona is a Polish feminine singular past participle and adjective meaning “rejected” or “refused.” It derives from the verb odrzucić (to reject, to dismiss) and is used to describe a feminine noun that has not been accepted. As an inflected form, odrzucona agrees with its noun in gender, number, and case. The corresponding forms are odrzucony (masculine) and odrzucone (neuter).

Grammatical use centers on passive meaning: odrzucona describes something that has been declined or dismissed, often in combination with a auxiliary such as być or zostać. For example, “została odrzucona” means “she was rejected” or “it was rejected” when the subject is feminine. Nouns typically described by this form include propozycja (proposal), wniosek (application), idea, opinia, or kandydatka (female candidate). Examples: “Jej propozycja została odrzucona przez komisję.” “Kandydatka została odrzucona.” “Odrzuconą odpowiedź uznano za niekompletną.”

Usage notes: odrzucona is common in formal or neutral contexts such as administrative decisions, academic reviews, and journalistic reporting. It can convey a sense of denial without specifying the reasons, though the surrounding context often clarifies why the rejection occurred. In everyday language, synonyms or alternative phrasing may be used to soften or specify the rejection.

Etymology and related forms: built from odrzucić, with related forms odrzucony (masc.), odrzucona (fem.), odrzucone (neut.). The verb and its participles are widely used to discuss decisions, submissions, and assessments.
