przekonana

Przekonana is a Polish feminine form of an adjective and past participle derived from the verb przekonać, meaning to persuade or convince. It is used to describe a female subject that has been persuaded or believes something to be true. In predicative position it can appear as “Ona jest przekonana” (She is convinced). In attributive use it may modify a feminine noun when the referent is female.

Grammar and related forms: as part of the adjective–participle system, przekonana agrees with the noun it describes in gender, number, and case. The masculine form is przekonany, the neuter form is przekonane, and the plural forms include przekonani (masculine personal) and przekonane (neuter or feminine). The feminine accusative singular is przekonaną. The abstract noun related to this word is przekonanie, meaning a conviction or belief. The verb from which these forms derive is przekonać; its imperfective counterpart is przekonywać.

Usage notes: przekonana often appears in everyday Polish to express certainty or belief about a proposition, person, or idea. It can describe both personal beliefs (“Jestem przekonana, że…” – I am convinced that…) and attitudes toward proposals or policies (“przekonana do nowej idei” – convinced/ persuaded by a new idea). The term is common in both formal and informal contexts and does not carry a negative tone unless paired with a critical context.
