uzyskiwana

Uzyskiwana is a feminine singular form of the present passive participle in Polish, derived from the verbs uzyskać or uzyskiwać, meaning to obtain or to acquire. Used as an adjective or participle, it describes something that is in the process of being obtained or acquired and agrees with feminine nouns. It contrasts with uzyskana, the past passive participle meaning “obtained.”

Morphology and usage context

The form uzyskiwana is the feminine counterpart to the masculine uzyskiwany and the neuter uzyskiwane. It appears in phrases where the object is described as currently undergoing the obtaining process, for example in formal or technical language. In everyday speech, speakers may instead use alternative constructions such as a noun phrase with a past participle (e.g., informacja uzyskana) to convey a similar meaning, depending on emphasis and register.

Examples and typical usage

- uzyskiwana informacja = information that is being obtained

- uzyskiwana zgoda = consent that is being obtained

- uzyskiwana karta = card that is being obtained

These phrases are common in bureaucratic, administrative, or data-collection contexts, where the focus is on the process of acquiring something rather than the state of having already obtained it.
