Cultural Note

'Oddany' comes from 'oddać' (to give away) — so an 'oddany' person has given themselves over completely to someone. It implies selfless devotion and is a high compliment in Polish relationships. Being described as 'oddana żona' (devoted wife) or 'oddany mąż' (devoted husband) reflects traditional Polish family values of commitment and sacrifice.
