Czynnemu

Czynnemu is the dative singular masculine form of the Polish adjective czynny, which means active, in operation, or engaged in action. It is used when the noun it modifies is masculine and in the dative case, forming part of a noun phrase.

For example: Dałem zadanie czynnemu pracownikowi. This translates to I gave the task to the active/engaged worker. In this sentence, czynnemu modifies pracownikowi, both in masculine gender and dative case.

Czynnemu does not carry an independent lexical meaning beyond that of czynny; it is a grammatical inflection. Adjectives in Polish decline to agree with the noun they describe, so czynnemu appears specifically with masculine singular nouns in the dative.

Etymology and morphology: czynny derives from the root czyn- meaning act or deed, with the adjectival ending -ny. The dative masculine singular form is czynnemu, reflecting standard Polish adjective inflection patterns.
