wystawiana

Wystawiana is the feminine singular present passive participle form of the Polish verb wystawiać (to exhibit, to present, to issue). Used as an adjective, it describes a feminine singular noun in the sense that the noun is being displayed, shown, or issued. The form agrees with feminine singular nouns and is typically found in passive constructions such as jest wystawiana or była wystawiana.

Usage and meaning

The term appears in two main semantic areas. In cultural or museum contexts, it refers to works or collections that are being shown to the public (the exhibited works). In administrative or commercial contexts, it refers to documents or items that have been issued or prepared, such as invoices. Because Polish uses gendered agreement, the corresponding masculine and neuter forms are wystawiany and wystawiane, respectively, and there are plural forms for different subjects.

Grammar and forms

Wystawiana is the feminine singular form. Other forms include masculine singular wystawiany, neuter singular wystawiane, and various plural forms depending on gender and number. In sentences, it frequently appears with auxiliary verbs such as być to form a passive voice construction, for example, Faktura wystawiana jest codziennie (The invoice is issued daily).

Examples

- Faktura wystawiana jest codziennie. (The invoice is issued daily.)

- Pod koniec roku w galerii wystawiana jest nowa kolekcja dzieł sztuki. (At the end of the year, a new collection of artworks is exhibited in the gallery.)

- Dokumenty księgowe są wystawiane w siedzibie firmy. (Accounting documents are issued at the company’s headquarters.)

Etymology and related forms

Wystawiana derives from wystawiać (to exhibit, to issue) with the productive prefixing and inflection typical of Polish participles. Related forms include wystawiany (masculine singular) and wystawiane (neuter singular or plural, depending on usage). The term is primarily a grammatical form used in descriptive, administrative, and cultural language.
