widzianego

Widzianego is the genitive singular masculine form of the Polish past passive participle widziany, meaning “seen” or “viewed.” It derives from the verb widzieć (to see) and functions as a participial adjective that can modify a noun within a phrase. In Polish, participles decline like adjectives, so widziany has distinct forms for gender, number, and case; widzianego specifically marks masculine singular in the genitive case.

In practice, widzianego appears in noun phrases where the head noun governs a dependent element in genitive,
