opisywanemu

Opisywanemu is a Polish grammatical form derived from the verb opisywać (to describe). It is the present passive participle expressed in the dative singular masculine form (and, in some contexts, with neuter nouns). As a participle, opisywanemu functions as an adjectival modifier, agreeing with the noun it describes in gender, number and case. It is used when the noun is in the dative case, most commonly with masculine singular nouns but also with neuter nouns in contexts such as opisywanemu zjawisku, meaning to the described phenomenon.

In practice, opisywanemu appears in noun phrases where the described entity is the recipient or beneficiary of description or is described by someone else. It can occur in technical, descriptive, or formal prose. Typical examples include phrases like opisywanemu raportowi or opisywanemu zjawisku, where the noun is in the dative case and the participle marks that the thing is being described.

The form is part of a larger paradigm of the present passive participle opisywany, which has related forms for other cases and genders (for example, opisywany in nominative masculine singular, opisywanego in genitive or accusative masculine singular, and corresponding forms for feminine and plural). Its use is governed by standard Polish participle and adjective declension rules, and it is most common in written or technical language rather than everyday speech.
