wykorzystanym

Wykorzystanym is a form of the Polish past participle derived from the verb wykorzystać, meaning to utilize, employ, or exploit. It functions as an adjective in the instrumental singular and is used to describe something that has already been used or put to a purpose. The word is common in formal, technical, and administrative language, where it helps indicate how resources, data, or instruments have been applied in a given context.

Etymology and meaning: wykorzystać is built from the prefix wy- (often signaling completion or thoroughness) and the verb korzystać (to use, to benefit). The resulting participle wykorzystany conveys that use has taken place, often with an emphasis on intentional or purposeful application. Wykorzystanym is the instrumental singular form, suitable for masculine and neuter nouns in constructions with prepositions that require instrumental case, such as z wykorzystanym budżetem or z wykorzystanym narzędziem.

Grammar and usage: As a past passive participle used adjectivally, wykorzystanym agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. The feminine form and plural forms differ (e.g., feminine instrumental and neuter, plural forms), but the instrumental masculine/neuter singular form is wykorzy­stanym. The construction is frequent in describing methods, resources, data, or tools that have been used in research, projects, or operations. Nuance-wise, wykorzystanym often conveys purposeful use; contexts describing waste or misuse may employ a negative tone.

Related terms: wykorzystany (masculine nominative), wykorzystana (feminine), wykorzystane (neuter/plural), wykorzystanie (the act of using, a noun).
