ukryty

Ukryty is a Polish adjective meaning hidden, concealed, or kept out of sight. It can describe objects, information, or intentions that are not readily visible or publicly acknowledged. In everyday language it commonly appears before nouns as an attributive adjective or used predicatively in clauses such as “Informacja jest ukryta.”

It is formed from the verb ukryć (to hide) with the prefix u- and the participial suffix -ty. The related noun is ukrycie, meaning the act of hiding or concealment. The term shares roots with other verbs and nouns in the Polish system that express concealment or secrecy.

Ukryty declines like other Polish adjectives to reflect gender and number, with masculine singular form ukryty, feminine singular ukryta, and neuter singular ukryte. In plural, forms follow standard adjective inflection rules according to gender and case. The word appears in contexts such as ukryty plik (hidden file), ukryte informacje (hidden information), or ukryty plan (concealed plan). It can also describe a person who conceals something, as in “ukrywa prawdę” (conceals the truth).

Synonyms include tajny, sekretowy, and zatajony, while the opposite meaning is conveyed by jawny or widoczny. The noun form is ukrycie; the verb is ukryć. The concept is common in political, journalistic, and literary language when referring to concealed motives, objects, or facts.
