rozwijano

Rozwijano is a grammatical form of the Polish verb rozwijać. It is used to express the past tense in the passive voice, indicating that development or expansion was taking place, without specifying who carried it out. In English this corresponds roughly to “it was being developed” or “they were developing (it).” The form is imperfective, signaling an ongoing or repeated process in the past rather than a completed action.

Grammatical features include its use in past passive constructions where the agent is not stated. Rozwijano can refer to a singular or plural subject depending on the sentence, with the action described as ongoing during a period. This passive form contrasts with the active past forms (for example, rozwijałem/rozwijaliśmy), which name a concrete agent performing the development.

Usage notes and examples:

- Rozwijano projekt przez kilka miesięcy. (The project was being developed for several months.)

- Nowe funkcje były rozwijane w tym programie. (New features were being developed in this program.)

- W projekcie rozwijano różne moduły, zanim osiągnięto wersję beta. (In the project, various modules were being developed before the beta version was reached.)

Relation to related terms: rozwijać denotes the act of developing or expanding, while rozwijanie and rozwijany describe the process or its passive participial forms. Rozwijano often appears in formal, journalistic, or technical text to report ongoing developmental activities without naming the agents.
