zwrócono

Zwrócono is a Polish verb form used as the past tense, passive voice of the verb zwrócić. It expresses that something was returned, given back, or otherwise brought to a recipient, with the agent of the action left unspecified. The form is commonly employed in written and formal language, including administrative, legal, and journalistic texts.

Grammatically, zwrócono is derived from the perfective verb zwrócić, indicating a completed action. In contrast, the imperfective counterpart would be zwracano or similar constructions describing a repeated or ongoing action in the past. The passive voice here has no explicit subject, which is typical for impersonal or bureaucratic statements in Polish.

In use, zwrócono can refer to tangible objects being returned, such as documents or items, or to abstractions like attention or consideration being drawn back to something (as in zwrócono uwagę). It often appears in announcements, reports, or official notices where the focus is on the outcome rather than the actor.

Examples: Dokumenty zwrócono po weryfikacji. Zwrócono uwagę na problem. These illustrate the passive past sense: the documents were returned after verification, and attention was drawn to a problem. Related forms include zwrócić (to return, to pay back) and zwracanie uwagi (the act of drawing attention).
