przedstawiony

Przedstawiony is a Polish past passive participle and adjective formed from the verb przedstawiać or, more commonly in its infinitive form, przedstawić. It denotes something that has been presented or introduced, such as a document, plan, report, or a person who has been introduced to others. In usage, it often functions attributively before a noun, for example: przedstawiony raport, przedstawiony bohater, and it agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies.

Forms of the word follow standard Polish agreement: masculine singular przedstawiony, feminine singular przedstawiona, neuter singular przedstawione; masculine personal plural przedstawieni, and non-masculine plural przedstawione. When used in passive voice constructions, it often appears with auxiliary verbs such as został, została, zostało, or with być in past forms, for example: Raport został przedstawiony.

Usage notes: przedstawiony is common in formal and written contexts, including reports, proposals, and academic or journalistic texts. It conveys that an item has already been brought forward, shown, or explained. While similar to zaprezentowany (which emphasizes demonstration or presentation, especially in a public or promotional sense), przedstawiony tends to carry the sense of being introduced or described rather than actively showcased.

Etymology and related forms: the word derives from przedstawić (to present/introduce/depict) with the prefix przed-, literally “placed before.” Related terms include przedstawić (infinitive), przedstawienie (presentation or depiction), and zaprezentować (to present or demonstrate, often in a persuasive or publicly visible context).
