Goodyearowi

Goodyearowi is the dative singular form of the English surname Goodyear in Polish. It is used when addressing or referring to a person named Goodyear in the dative case, for example in phrases like “Goodyearowi dziękuję za pomoc” (I thank Goodyear for the help) or “Przepraszam, Goodyearowi za spóźnienie.” This form illustrates how Polish declines foreign surnames to fit grammatical cases.

The surname Goodyear is of English origin and is best known as the family name of Charles Goodyear (1800–1860), the American engineer who contributed to the development of vulcanized rubber. In Polish texts, the name is treated as a proper noun and inflected according to standard Polish declension patterns for masculine surnames. The dative singular Goodyearowi thus reflects typical endings used for many foreign surnames ending in -ar.

Usage and notes: In formal writing, brand names or corporate entities such as Goodyear may be treated differently depending on context, but when referring to a person with the surname Goodyear, Goodyearowi is the conventional dative form. Other cases (genitive, nominative, accusative) would require corresponding Polish inflections of the surname, such as Goodyear or Goodyeara in appropriate contexts. As with all proper nouns, consistency with established style guides is recommended when composing Polish text.
