raportowy

Raportowy is a Polish adjective meaning relating to a report, or presented in the form of a report. It is used to describe documents, data, formats, or styles that are formal, structured, and intended for reporting purposes. The word is formed from the noun raport (report) with the adjectival suffix -owy, and its root is ultimately from French rapport.

In practice, raportowy appears in phrases such as styl raportowy (report style), ton raportowy (reporting tone), dane raportowe (report data), and format raportowy (report format). It can describe both written materials, like raporty and sprawozdania, and the manner of presenting information, for example in a neutral, concise, and factual way. The term is common in business, administration, journalism, and social sciences, where information is prepared for formal presentation or archival purposes.

Morphology follows standard Polish adjective declension: raportowy for masculine singular, raportowa for feminine singular, and raportowe for neuter singular; it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. In plural contexts, the endings adapt to the noun’s gender and case, as with other -owy adjectives. The word is closely related to related forms such as raportowanie (reporting) and sprawozdawczy (reporting, in the sense of conveying information).

Notes and usage considerations: while raportowy and sprawozdawczy can be overlapping in meaning, raportowy emphasizes the format or style of a report, whereas sprawozdawczy often stresses the act of reporting or presenting findings. The term is primarily descriptive and neutral, without evaluation implicit in itself.
