posprzedan

Posprzedan is not a standard entry in contemporary Polish dictionaries. In most contexts it is regarded as an incorrect or incomplete form related to the verb posprzedać or to the past participle posprzedany. The prefix po- attached to sprzedać conveys a sense of completing or disposing of something, but the commonly used participle in agreement with a noun is posprzedany (masculine singular), posprzedana (feminine singular), or posprzedane (neuter/plural).

In standard Polish, the more common and accepted forms to express the idea of something having been sold off are posprzedany, posprzedana, or, with a simple sense of sale, sprzedany. The construction with posprzedać is less frequent and may appear in specialized or colloquial contexts to emphasize disposal of remaining stock, assets, or items.

Usage notes: posprzedan is typically viewed as a typo, a regional variant, or an old-fashioned form rather than a recognized lemma. When editing or quoting Polish texts, it is advisable to replace it with the correct participle forms posprzedany/posprzedana/posprzedane or with sprzedany, depending on the intended nuance and grammatical gender and number.

Etymology: posprzedan derives from the verb posprzedać, which is built from sprzedać (to sell) with the prefix po-, used to indicate a completed action or a disposal of goods. The standard related noun is posprzedaż (after-sales) or posprzedażowy (after-sales-related).
