Gazecie

Gazecie is the locative singular form of the Polish noun gazeta, meaning newspaper. It is also the dative singular form in contexts where a verb or preposition requires the dative case. The word gazeta refers to a periodical publication that reports news, analysis, and opinion, and can denote a specific title as well as the concept of newspapers in general.

In standard Polish, gazecie appears after prepositions that govern the locative (and sometimes the dative). Examples include w gazecie (in the newspaper), na gazecie (on the newspaper’s surface). It can also function as the indirect object in sentences with dative-valued verbs, such as podziękować gazecie (to thank the newspaper) or przyznać gazecie (to grant to the newspaper).

Gazecie is commonly encountered in reference to proper names that contain the word gazeta. For instance, the major Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza inflects as Gazecie Wyborczej in the locative/dative context and as Gazety Wyborczej in the genitive. Thus, forms of gazeta, including gazecie, appear in various titles and phrases depending on case and syntactic role.

The term is primarily a grammar and vocabulary note rather than a standalone concept. It serves to illustrate case inflection for feminine singular nouns in Polish and to show how location, direction, or indirect object relations are expressed in sentences involving newspapers.
