podpowiedziana

Podpowiedziana is a feminine singular past passive participle in Polish, formed from the verb podpowiedzieć (to hint, to suggest). It is used as an adjective to describe a feminine noun that has been suggested or hinted by someone or something, such as a person, algorithm, or source of information. The form denotes that the suggestion came from an external observer rather than being independently determined.

Etymology and form: The word is built from the prefix pod- (indicating being underneath or additional to) attached to the root related to powiedzieć (to say). The past passive participle ends in -ana for feminine singular, yielding podpowiedziana. In other genders and numbers, the participle agrees with the noun: podpowiedziany (masculine), podpowiedziane (neuter or plural).

Usage: Podpowiedziana modifies a feminine noun, typically in nominative position, for example: podpowiedziana odpowiedź (a suggested answer) or podpowiedziana opcja (a hinted option). It can also be used post-nominally in phrases like "odpowiedź podpowiedziana przez system" (the answer suggested by the system). The term emphasizes that the item was provided as a hint or recommendation rather than discovered independently.

Comparison with related terms: Sugerowana is a close synonym meaning “recommended” or “suggested,” but podpowiedziana stresses the act of hinting or indicating by some source, whereas sugerowana can carry a broader sense of being proposed or advised without the explicit notion of a hint.
