podawani

Podawani is a Polish grammatical form: the masculine personal plural of the present passive participle podawany, derived from the verb podawać, meaning to hand over, provide, or serve. As a participle used as an adjective, podawani modifies masculine personal nouns and agrees with number and gender. The corresponding forms for other genders and numbers are podawany (masc. singular), podawana (fem. singular), podawane (neut. singular or feminine plural), and podawani (masc. plural). The past passive forms include podany (masc. singular), podana (fem. singular), podane (neut. singular or feminine/plural), and podani (masc. plural). This system of forms is typical of Polish participles and reflects gender and number agreement.

In meaning, podawani conveys that something is being handed over, provided, or served, with its exact sense determined by context. It is most common in formal or written Polish, including administrative, logistical, and hospitality contexts, where ongoing provision or distribution is described.

Usage notes can help distinguish podawani from related forms. Podawany, podawana, or podawane describe a single item or recipient, while podawani specifies a masculine personal plural subject. The neuter or feminine plural counterpart is podawane, and the past forms align with standard Polish participle conjugation. Etymologically, the term stems from podawać, with the prefix pod- indicating direction toward a recipient or target of the action.
