poddawana

Poddawana is a form of the Polish verb poddawać and functions as the feminine singular present passive participle, used as an adjective to indicate that a feminine noun is being subjected to a process or action. It conveys the sense of “being submitted to” or “subjected to.”

In usage, poddawana typically precedes the noun it modifies or appears in predicative constructions with być. Examples include poddawana ocenie (subject to evaluation), poddawana badaniu (subjected to examination), and poddawana próbie (subjected to a test). For instance, Kobieta poddawana jest badaniu translates to The woman is being subjected to an examination. The form agrees with the feminine noun it describes.

Etymologically, poddawana comes from the verb poddawać, which means to subject, to submit, or to expose to something, with the feminine ending -ana marking gender and number. The phrase can appear in formal, bureaucratic, medical, or academic contexts, where processes, assessments, or tests are described as something that a subject undergoes.

While poddawana is the standard feminine form, the corresponding forms are used to describe other subjects undergoing similar processes.
