sprawowa

Sprawowa is a Polish adjective used to describe something that functions well, is operational, or efficient. It represents the feminine singular form of the base adjective sprawowy, which can be translated as functional or well-run. The word is typically employed in formal or technical contexts to emphasize proper performance, reliability, or effectiveness of systems, processes, or organizations.

Etymology and nuance: sprawowy derives from the verb sprawować (to perform, to carry out) and is related to the noun sprawa (matter, task). In everyday language, the more common synonym for everyday use is sprawny, but sprawowa carries a more technical or official tone. The feminine form sprawowa agrees with feminine nouns, for example a feminine noun meaning “organization” or “institution” when used in a context that stresses its functionality.

Usage and contexts: Sprawowa tends to appear in administrative, engineering, policy, and governance discourse, where the emphasis is on proper operation and effectiveness of a system, procedure, or body. It can contrast with more normative or general terms like sprawny or wydajny (efficient) by signaling a formal assessment of functioning. It is distinct from forms derived from the verb sprawować, such as sprawowana, which participate in passive constructions like władza sprawowana (the exercise or governance of power).

See also: sprawny, sprawność, sprawować, władza sprawowana. Sprawowa is a linguistic form rather than a standalone concept with a separate domain of knowledge; its meaning is determined by context and the noun it modifies.
