przewidywany

Przewidywany is a Polish adjective meaning "expected" or "foreseen." It is derived from the verb przewidywać ("to foresee, to anticipate") and is used to describe events, conditions, or quantities that are anticipated on the basis of information, analysis, or projection.

Etymology: The word combines the prefix prze- with the verb widzieć ("to see"), ultimately yielding "to see beforehand." The form przewidywany is the present participle‑like adjective that accompanies a noun.

Usage: Przewidywany appears frequently in formal writing, business reports, contracts, and scientific texts. It can describe costs, dates, outcomes, or risks. It contrasts with spodziewany (expected in the sense of anticipation) and prognozowany (forecasted based on data). Examples: przewidywany koszt, przewidywana data, przewidywane ryzyko.

Grammar: As an adjective, przewidywany agrees with the noun in gender and number. Typical forms include przewidywany (masculine singular), przewidywana (feminine singular), przewidywane (neuter singular or plural), and przewidywani (masculine personal plural).

See also: Synonyms and related terms include spodziewany and prognozowany; in Polish usage, choosing one depends on nuance and formality.
