podzielona

Podzielona is the feminine form of the Polish adjective podzielony, meaning "divided" or "split." It describes a feminine singular noun and indicates that the object has been partitioned into parts or that a group or situation is characterized by internal division. The term can be used in literal contexts (a physical division) or figurative ones (societal, political, or ideological divisions).

Etymology: Podzielona is derived from the verb podzielić ("to divide"), with the prefix pod- added to dzielić. The adjective is inflected for gender and number in Polish, with podzielona for feminine singular, podzielone for neuter singular or plural, and podzielony for masculine singular.

Examples of usage include: wyspa podzielona na dwie części leży na Morzu Bałtyckim; społeczeństwo podzielone bywa opisywane jako zmagające się z konfliktami; kolekcja podzielona na trzy tomy została wydana w zeszłym roku. These illustrate literal, social, and organizational contexts in which the form is appropriate.

Grammar and related forms: As a participial adjective, podzielona agrees with the gender and number of the noun. The masculine singular form is podzielony, the neuter singular form is podzielone, and the plural forms align with standard Polish adjective declension, for example podzieleni (masculine personal) and podzielone (neuter or plural).
