zaproponowany

Zaproponowany is a Polish adjective and past participle formed from the verb zaproponować (to propose). It denotes that something has been proposed or suggested, and is commonly used in formal or written language to indicate the status of a plan, idea, or solution. The form is typically used to describe nouns, for example, zaproponowany plan (the proposed plan).

Morphology and agreement: zaproponowany declines like a standard adjective. Masculine singular is zaproponowany; feminine singular zaproponowana; neuter singular zaproponowane. Plural forms include zaproponowani for masculine personal nouns, and zaproponowane for feminine and neuter or non-masculine plural nouns. Its use as a participle allows it to appear in attributive positions (before the noun) or predicatively within sentences, such as Plan został zaproponowany (The plan was proposed).

Usage and nuance: zaproponowany emphasizes that the proposal has already occurred and is being reported or referenced as a completed action. In contrast, proponowany (without the prefix za) is often used for something that is being proposed or suggested, without specifying completion. The choice between forms can influence nuance in formal texts, policy documents, and academic writing.

Examples: zaproponowany projekt (the proposed project); zaproponowana zmiana (the proposed change); projekt, zaproponowany przez ekspertów (a project proposed by experts).
