omówiono

Omówiono is a form of the Polish verb omówić, used in the past tense in a passive or impersonal construction. It means that a discussion or review of a subject took place, often with emphasis on the outcome rather than who performed the action. The phrase is common in formal writing, minutes, reports, and news articles, where it signals that a topic was covered and conclusions or decisions may have been stated.

Grammatically, omówiono functions as a neuter past passive form. The agent performing the discussion is typically not specified, making the statement impersonal: it was discussed. The thing that was discussed usually appears as the object of the verb, for example: Omówiono wyniki badań (The study results were discussed). The active counterpart is omówił/omówiła/omówili, depending on the subject.

Etymology and related forms: omówić derives from mówiąc o czymś (to speak about something) with the prefix o-, giving the sense of going over something in detail. Related verbs include omówić (to discuss in detail, to go over), and omawiać (to discuss or cover, imperfective). The participle form omówiony exists in adjectival usage, while omówiono is the neutral past passive form used in reporting and formal statements.

Notes on usage: omówiono is typically used when summarizing discussions in minutes or reports, or when describing the outcomes of a meeting. It does not specify the actor and often foregrounds the content of the discussion rather than who led it.
