ograniczonym

Ograniczonym is the instrumental singular form of the Polish adjective ograniczony, meaning restricted or limited. It is used to describe something that is limited in scope, extent, or degree, typically in relation to a noun in the instrumental case.

Origin and morphology: ograniczony derives from the verb ograniczyć (to limit). Like other adjectives, it declines according to gender, number, and case. In the instrumental singular, the masculine and neuter form is ograniczonym, while the feminine form is ograniczoną. Plural instrumental is ograniczonymi. The form appears in phrases where the noun it modifies is in instrumental case, or in fixed expressions.

Usage and examples: Ograniczonym appears in contexts such as “z ograniczonym budżetem” (with a restricted budget) and “w ograniczonym zakresie” (in a limited or restricted scope). It is commonly used in official, legal, or technical language to indicate that access, resources, or permissions are not full or unrestricted. The feminine form ograniczoną would modify feminine nouns, for example in “ograniczoną kwotą” (with a restricted amount, feminine noun).

Relation to related terms: The base form ograniczony is used in attributive position and in predicate constructions, e.g., “ten plan jest ograniczony” (this plan is restricted). Antonyms include nieograniczony (unrestricted, unlimited) and ograniczanie as a noun related to limiting.

See also: ograniczenie (restriction), ograniczać (to limit), nieograniczony (unrestricted). The phrase w ograniczonym zakresie is a common fixed expression in Polish.
