uzasadnione

Uzasadnione is a form of the Polish adjective uzasadniony, meaning justified, warranted, or reasonable. It is used to describe statements, conclusions, decisions, or proposals that have a rational basis or supporting evidence. The word conveys that there are grounds for accepting a claim, without necessarily asserting absolute truth.

Etymology and related forms: The term derives from the verb uzasadnić (to justify) and the adjectival suffix -one in its neuter singular form. The related noun uzasadnienie denotes justification or reasoning. The opposite form is nieuzasadniony (unjustified or unsupported), with common contextual contrasts to other evaluative terms such as bezpodstawny (baseless) or niewiarygodny (unreliable).

Usage: In formal and written Polish, uzasadnione signals that a particular claim or position is supported by evidence, reasoning, or appropriate grounds. It is frequently found in legal texts, academic writing, policy documents, and journalistic prose to indicate that conclusions are properly supported. The word emphasizes justification rather than certainty; something can be uzasadnione without claiming final or incontrovertible truth.

Examples: A neutral usage is seen in sentences like “To twierdzenie jest uzasadnione.” or “Wnioski są uzasadnione na podstawie danych.” These illustrate how the neuter singular form functions in describing a justified claim or conclusion.
