umieszczony

Umieszczony is a Polish past participle of the verb umieścić, meaning placed or located. It functions as an adjective or participial modifier and describes something that has been placed somewhere, included in a collection, or positioned within a system. It can appear in passive constructions or as an attribute, for example: "Artykuł został umieszczony na stronie internetowej" or "umieszczony w spisie."

Morphology and usage are tied to gender and number. The participle agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number (masculine singular: umieszczony; feminine singular: umieszczona; neuter singular: umieszczone; plural forms vary by gender). It is used in formal, descriptive, or bureaucratic language and in everyday Polish when noting the placement or inclusion of something.

In terms of meaning, umieszczony often conveys that an item has already been positioned, inserted, or registered in a particular place or document. It can describe physical placement (a device on a shelf), inclusion in a list or database (data or articles in a repository), or placement within a narrative or argument (an example placed within a discussion). The form is frequently found with auxiliary verbs such as zostać or być to express completed action or current state, as in "dane zostały umieszczone w bazie" or "umieszczona w katalogu."

See also: umieścić (to place/insert, the perfective verb from which umieszczony is derived); umieszczać (imperfective counterpart). The term is common in formal writing, documentation, and online publication to indicate that something has been positioned or recorded.
