Questions & Answers about Ubezpieczony ma dokumenty.

What exactly is ubezpieczony in this sentence: an adjective or a noun?

It is an adjective used like a noun.

Literally, ubezpieczony means insured. But in insurance and legal language, Polish often uses it by itself to mean the insured person. So here it functions like a noun: the insured / the policyholder / the insured person, depending on context.

This is very common in formal Polish.

Why does ubezpieczony end in -y?

The ending -y shows that the word is:

• masculine
• singular
• nominative (the subject form)

In Ubezpieczony ma dokumenty, ubezpieczony is the subject of the sentence, so nominative is required.

If the subject were feminine, you would say:

• Ubezpieczona ma dokumenty. = The insured woman has documents.

Is there a feminine version of ubezpieczony?
