Czerwonego

Czerwonego is the genitive singular form of the Polish adjective czerwony, which means red. In Polish, adjectives decline for gender, number, and case; the form czerwonego is used to modify masculine or neuter nouns in the genitive case. For example: kolor czerwonego auta (the color of the red car) or odcień czerwonego wina (a shade of red wine). In other cases, the adjective takes different forms: nominative masculine is czerwony, feminine is czerwona, neuter is czerwone, and feminine genitive is czerwonej.

Etymology and cognates: the Polish word czerwony originates from the old Polish root czer- and is connected to the noun czerwień, meaning red color. This lineage is related to similar Slavic roots for red or crimson in many languages, though sound changes over time produced distinct modern forms such as Russian krasny and Polish czerwony. The development reflects historical associations between color terms and pigments, including vermilion and other red hues.

Usage notes: czerwonego is most commonly encountered in phrases that place the color description before a noun in a genitive construction, typically after words that govern a genitive object, such as kolor, odcień, odcień, odcień koloru czerwonego... In everyday Polish, the exact form of the adjective is determined by the noun it modifies, so the genitive form czerwonego appears with masculine and neuter nouns in contexts requiring genitive case.
