zastowanej

Zastowanej is a Polish inflected form rather than a standalone lexical item. It appears as the feminine singular form in three grammatical cases (genitive, dative, and locative) of adjectives and past passive participles derived from a base such as zastowana or zastowany. In practical terms, zastowanej accompanies a feminine noun and marks non-nominative case, for example in phrases introduced by by or about certain roles or states.

The characteristic pattern around zastowanej follows the standard Polish paradigm for feminine adjectives and participles. The corresponding base forms are zastowana (nominative feminine), zastowany (nominative masculine), and zastowane (neuter). In non-nominative positions, these forms shift to zastowanej (genitive/dative/locative singular for feminine), zastowanej remains the recognizable ending that signals the sentence’s syntactic relations rather than a separate headword.

Usage notes: zastowanej does not function as an independent lemma in dictionaries. It is encountered mainly in textual contexts where an attribute described by the feminine form modifies a noun in a non-nominative case. The meaning conveyed by zastowanej depends on the broader verb or noun base it relates to, and is not fixed by the form alone.
