reprezentowany

Reprezentowany is a Polish passive participle formed from the verb reprezentować, meaning to represent. It describes a person or thing that is represented by someone else, or that is in a state of representation. In legal, political, and everyday language it functions as an adjective or participle and agrees with the noun it modifies.

Morphology and agreement: reprezen­towany is masculine singular; feminine singular is reprezentowana; neuter singular is reprezentowane; plural forms include reprezentowani (masculine personal) and reprezentowane (non-masculine personal). The form therefore changes to reflect gender and number of the noun it describes.

Usage and context: the word is commonly used to indicate that someone or something is being represented. Examples include: "Firma jest reprezentowana przez prawnika" (The company is represented by a lawyer). "Reprezentowany artysta wygłosił przemówienie" (The represented artist gave a speech). In phrases such as "reprezentowany przez" the agent performing the representation is named after the preposition by, as in "klient jest reprezentowany przez adwokata." Beyond law and politics, it can appear in general discussion to denote representation of a group, idea, or country.

Etymology and related terms: reprezentowany is derived from the verb reprezentować, with the standard Polish participial suffix. Related terms include reprezentacja (representation) and przedstawiciel (representative), which share a common semantic field of representation and delegation.
