zainstalowane

Zainstalowane is a Polish term formed as the past passive participle of the verb zainstalować, meaning that something has been installed. In Polish, zainstalować is a perfective verb; its participle has forms zainstalowany (masculine), zainstalowana (feminine), and zainstalowane (neuter singular or plural). The form zainstalowane is used when the noun it modifies is neuter singular (for example oprogramowanie) or plural that is not masculine personal (for example aplikacje, aktualizacje). In usage, zainstalowane describes software, hardware, updates, or configurations that are already in place. It can function attributively (Zainstalowane programy) or predicatively (Programy są zainstalowane).

Common contexts include information technology, system administration, documentation, and user interfaces: Zainstalowane oprogramowanie lists all installed software; Zainstalowane aktualizacje indicates updates that have been applied. It is often contrasted with odinstalowane (uninstalled) or niezainstalowane (not installed).

Etymology: the form is derived from the verb zainstalować, with the prefix z- indicating completion or result. The related noun instalacja (installation) and the adjective/participial forms are widely used in Polish technical language.
