odwołano

"Odwołano" means "canceled" in English.

In a sentence

  • Mecz piłkarski odwołano z powodu deszczu.

    The football match was canceled due to the rain.

    The word 'odwołano' is used in its third-person singular past tense passive form, indicating an action (cancellation of the match) performed by an unspecified subject.

  • Gdy odwołano koncert, artyści byli rozczarowani.

    When the concert was canceled, the artists were disappointed.

    Here, 'odwołano' serves the same purpose, showing a past action (concert cancellation) with no need to specify the doer.

  • Spotkanie zostało odwołano przez organizatorów.

    The meeting was canceled by the organizers.

    Though 'odwołano' could fit here, its usage in passive constructions often requires the auxiliary 'zostało/stało' for well-formed sentences, emphasizing the action being acted upon.
