wydany

Wydany is a Polish adjective and past participle formed from the verb wydać, meaning that something has been issued, released, or published by an authority or publisher. It is used to describe objects, documents, editions, or works that have completed the process of distribution or public release. In legal and administrative language it often signals official authentication or authorization.

Morphology and forms: as an adjective it agrees with the noun in gender, number, and case. Common forms include wydany (masculine singular), wydana (feminine singular), wydane (neuter singular or plural, and feminine/plural), wydani (masculine personal plural). The form wydany is also found in the passive voice with the auxiliary zostać, as in “dokument został wydany.”

Usage and nuance: wydany emphasizes the completion of an issuance or publication, rather than the act of publishing itself. It can describe official documents, reports, editions, instructions, or orders that have been issued by an authority or publisher. It is often used interchangeably with opublikowany in general contexts, though wydany carries a stronger connotation of formal issuance or authorization.

Examples: “Dokument został wydany przez ministrstwo.” “Książka została wydana w 2019 roku.” “Wydany rozkaz dotyczy wszystkich pracowników.” The choice between wydany and wydana or wydane depends on the gender and number of the noun it modifies.
