Fleksyjnego

Fleksyjnego is the genitive singular form of the Polish adjective fleksyjny. In linguistics, fleksyjny describes a system or language that uses inflection (fleksja) to encode grammatical relations through word form changes rather than relying primarily on word order.

The term fleksyjny derives from fleksja, itself connected to the Latin flexio, meaning bending. In linguistic typology, fleksyjny languages are those in which words frequently change endings to indicate case, number, gender, tense, mood, and other grammatical categories. This contrasts with analytic languages, which rely more on fixed word order and auxiliary words, and with agglutinative or isolating languages that organize morphology differently.

In practice, a fleksyjny language often employs a rich system of endings and internal vowel or consonant changes to mark grammatical relations. Examples commonly cited as fleksyjne include Polish, Russian, and Latin, though the degree of inflection varies among languages. Words in such languages can appear in many forms to reflect different syntactic roles, which can affect noun, pronoun, adjective, and verb forms.

The form fleksyjnego specifically appears in phrases such as języka fleksyjnego ("an inflectional language") or innych cech fleksyjnego systemu. Understanding whether a language is fleksyjny helps describe how its grammar encodes meaning beyond word order alone.
