przedstawione

Przedstawione is a Polish past participle of the verb przedstawiać (or its perfective variant przedstawić) that conveys the sense of something that has been presented, introduced, or shown. In usage, it functions as an adjective or as part of a passive construction, indicating that information, data, or items have been brought before an audience or readers.

In practice, the form is commonly used before nouns to describe what has already been presented: for example, przedstawione dane (the data presented), przedstawione wyniki (the presented results), przedstawione propozycje (the presented proposals). It can also appear in predicative position, as in Dane zostały przedstawione. The form istnieje as the past participle form appropriate for neuter nouns and for plural usage; other gender- and number-specific forms exist for masculine and feminine nouns (przedstawiony, przedstawiona, przedstawieni).

The term is widespread in formal and academic writing, including scientific reports, legal documents, journalism, and official communications, where it signals that certain information has been disclosed, shown, or reported to others. It is closely related to related nouns such as przedstawienie (presentation, depiction) and to the verb forms przedstawić and przedstawiać, which cover the broader meanings of presenting, introducing, or depicting something.

Etymology traces back to the verb przedstawić, with the prefix przed- indicating “before” or “in front of” and the root stawić meaning “to place,” collectively reflecting the act of presenting something to someone.
