przypisani

Przypisani is a Polish grammatical form used as the masculine personal plural of the past passive participle przypisany, or more generally as an adjective meaning “assigned” or “attributed.” It describes people or other animate nouns that have been assigned to a role, group, project, or category, or whose attributes have been attributed to them. The form appears in descriptive, administrative, and formal texts.

Etymology and meaning: the word comes from the verb przypisać (“to assign,” “to attribute”). In official language, it is used to indicate that someone or something has been placed within a certain register, roster, or responsibility, or that a credit or attribution has been made to a source.

Forms and usage: Polish adjectives and participles agree with the noun they modify. The masculine personal plural form is przypisani (e.g., Przypisani do projektu pracownicy). For other genders and numbers, the forms vary: przypisana (feminine singular), przypisane (neuter singular or feminine/plural forms for non-personal nouns). In everyday and formal sentences, these forms appear with appropriate verbs (often in passive voice, e.g., zostali przypisani, zostały przypisane).

Examples:

- Przypisani do zespołu inżynierowie otrzymali nowe zadania. (The engineers assigned to the team received new tasks.)

- Autorzy przypisani do projektu zaprezentowali wyniki. (The authors assigned to the project presented the results.)

- Grupa została przypisana do kategorii. (The group was assigned to the category.)

See also: przypisać, przypis, przypisy. The term should not be confused with przpisy (footnotes), which shares a common root but a different meaning.
