zgaszane

Zgaszane is a Polish term used as an adjective or past participle derived from the verb zgasić, meaning to extinguish or to switch off. It denotes that something has had its flame, light, or power turned off and is no longer active or burning. In standard usage, the meaning is close to the English “extinguished” or “put out.”

In practice, zgaszane appears most often in descriptions of lights, fires, or energy sources that have been extinguished. Common contexts include phrases like zgaszone światła (the lights that have been extinguished) or zgaszone ognie (the fires put out). The form conveys a completed action affecting the state of the subject.

Grammatical notes and related forms: zgaszony (masc. singular), zgaszona (fem. singular), and zgaszone (neut. singular) are the standard past passive participle forms used to agree with the noun in gender and number. The form zgaszane is less common and may appear in certain stylistic or regional usages; in most contemporary texts, speakers will choose the standard agreement forms (zgaszony, zgaszona, zgaszone) to describe a single item, or the appropriate plural forms for multiple items.
