wyrany

Wyrany is a Polish adjective and past participle formed from the verb wyrwać, meaning to pull out or uproot. It describes something that has been removed, extracted, or severed from its original position. The term can apply to physical objects, such as teeth or branches, as well as to figurative uses, for example in contexts like being taken out of context.

In grammar, wyrany functions as an adjective that agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. The masculine singular form is wyrwany, the feminine singular is wyrwana, and the neuter singular is wyrwane. The form changes to fit the noun’s gender and number, and, in plural usage, the ending adapts accordingly. A few common examples include wyrwany ząb (a pulled tooth) and wyrwana gałąź (an uprooted branch). The sense can extend to metaphorical expressions such as wyrwany z kontekstu (taken out of context), where the word retains the core idea of removal or extraction.

Related terms include the noun wyrwanie, which denotes the act of pulling out or extraction, and the verb wyrwać, the action behind the formation of wyrany. The term is widely used in everyday Polish, in both literal descriptions and descriptive or figurative language.
