Indyjski

Indyjski is a Polish adjective meaning "Indian" or "of India." It is used to describe things associated with the Republic of India or with its people, culture, language, and geography. The word is derived from Indie, the Polish name for India, with the adjectival suffix -ski, and is written with a lowercase initial letter unless it begins a sentence or appears in a title.

In Polish, the noun form for a person from India is Indyjczyk (masc) or Indyjka (fem). The adjective Indyjski inflects for gender and number: indyjski (masc. singular), indyjska (fem. singular), indyjske (neuter singular and plural forms); in plural, indyjscy is used for masculine personal, while indyjske covers other genders and plural neuter.

Common usages include phrases such as kultura indyjska (Indian culture) and kuchnia indyjska (Indian cuisine). The term can also describe languages, geography, or traditions connected with India, though specific language names (e.g., hindi, bengalski) are usually used for precision.

Notes: Indyjski is a standard Polish adjective and is not capitalized unless it starts a sentence or appears in a title. It should not be confused with Indy for the country name or with demonyms formed differently, such as Indyjczyk/Indyjka for a person from India. For country-related topics, the noun Indie refers to the state, while Indyjski describes attributes related to India.
