uznawana

Uznawana is the feminine singular form of the present passive participle of the Polish verb uznawać, which means to acknowledge or recognize. In Polish, uznawana functions as an adjective or participial modifier and describes a feminine noun that is considered or treated in a certain way. It is used in contexts where evaluation, esteem, or official recognition is conveyed, often in professional or biographical writing.

Morphology and usage. As a participial adjective, uznawana agrees with the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies. For example: Kobieta uznawana za ekspertkę przemysłu. Here uznawana agrees with kobieta (feminine singular). The phrase uznawana za … means “considered/recognized as …” and is common in journalistic and descriptive prose. The form can appear in various cases: uznawanej (genitive), uznawanej (dative/locative), uznawaną (accusative), uznawanej (instrumental), and so on, following standard adjective declension rules.

Nuances and related forms. Użnawana conveys an ongoing assessment or general characterization, often without signaling a completed act. In contrast, uznana (feminine, past passive participle) or została uznana indicates a completed recognition or a resulted status, as in “została uznana za eksperta.” Related nouns include uznanie (recognition, acknowledgment) and uznawać (to recognize/acknowledge) and its other participial forms such as uznawany (masculine) and uznane (neuter/plural).

Summary. Użnawana is a gendered participial adjective used to describe a woman or feminine noun that is recognized or regarded in a certain way, commonly found in formal writing and biographical or evaluative contexts.
