zjedzone

Zjedzone is a Polish past passive participle of the verb zjeść, meaning to eat. It denotes that something has been eaten and is often used to describe the result of the action rather than the act itself. The form can function as part of a passive construction or as an adjective modifying a noun.

As a participle, zjedzone agrees with the noun it describes in gender and number. For example, zjedzone jabłka refers to eaten apples (plural), zjedzone ciasto to the eaten cake (neuter singular), and the neutral passive form zjedzone can appear in phrases like jabłko zostało zjedzone, meaning the apple has been eaten.

Usage in Polish typically involves constructions such as zjedzone zostało/zostały, where the auxiliary zostało or zostały supports the past tense passive voice. The participle can also appear attributively, as in zjedzone owoce, to describe a noun directly. In all cases, zjedzone conveys a completed action with a focus on the resulting state of the object.

Etymologically, zjedzone is formed from the verb zjeść with the suffix that yields a past passive participle, a common pattern for perfective verbs in Polish. It is widely used in written and spoken Polish to indicate that edible items have already been consumed.
