Jawnej

Jawnej is not a standalone lexical item in Polish but the feminine genitive singular form of the adjective jawny, meaning open, public, or explicit. It functions as an inflected form used to modify feminine nouns in genitive or dative cases.

In usage, jawnej appears primarily in formal or legal language where agreement with feminine nouns is required. A well-known example is the term spółka jawna, which denotes a general partnership. In phrases such as kapitał spółki jawnej or treść umowy jawnej, jawnej appears in genitive when describing the owned entity or the contract, respectively. The form thus signals a relationship of openness or public nature to the feminine noun it modifies.

Beyond legal terms, jawnej may appear in other phrases describing attributes of a feminine noun in genitive or dative contexts, although such usage is less common in everyday speech. In general, tallies of openness or public character are more frequently expressed by the base adjectives jawny or the noun jawność (transparency).

See also: jawny, spółka jawna, jawność. Notes on Polish morphology show that jawnej is the standard grammatical form used to maintain gender and case agreement with feminine nouns in phrases referring to public or explicit characteristics.
