poinformowana

Poinformowana is the feminine singular past passive participle formed from the Polish verb poinformować, meaning to inform. In general usage it denotes someone who has been given information or made aware of something. In grammar, poinformowana functions as an adjective or participle and agrees with the noun it modifies, with the form changing for gender and number.

Forms include: masculine singular poinformowany; feminine singular poinformowana; neuter singular poinformowane; masculine personal plural poinformowani; and the non-masculine plural poinformowane. These forms illustrate how past passive participles in Polish decline like adjectives.

Usage examples include predicative constructions such as "On jest poinformowany" (He is informed) and attributive ones such as "kobieta poinformowana o decyzji" (a woman informed about the decision). Passive voice phrases like "Została poinformowana o wynikach" (She was informed about the results) are also common in formal and media contexts.

Nuance and scope: poinformowana emphasizes that information has been communicated to someone, not necessarily that it has been understood or accepted. It is distinct from verbs that convey comprehension (for example, zrozumiała) or agreement, though those concepts can appear in related sentences.

Related terms include poinformować (to inform, perfective) and informować (to inform, imperfective). The noun form poinformowanie can refer to the act of informing. In usage, poinformowana is most often encountered in writing about individuals who have received information or notices, in both official and everyday Polish.
