Jednostkowym

Jednostkowym is the instrumental singular form of the Polish adjective jednostkowy, which means unit or relating to a single unit. The term is used to describe nouns in contexts where something is measured, defined, or organized as a single unit. It is derived from the noun jednostka (unit) with the adjectival suffix -owy.

In Polish, jednostkowy behaves like a standard i-stem adjective with regular declension. Examples of forms include: masculine singular nominative jednostkowy; feminine singular nominative jednostkowa; neuter singular nominative jednostkowe; instrumental masculine/neuter singular jednostkowym; feminine instrumental singular jednostkową. These forms allow the adjective to agree with different gender and grammatical cases of the noun it modifies, such as wektorem jednostkowym (unit vector) or wartością jednostkową (unit value).

Usage and occurrence: the adjective is common in scientific, mathematical, and technical language when referencing quantities, measurements, or entities defined in terms of a single unit. It can describe a variety of concepts, for example a unit vector in geometry (wektor jednostkowy), a unit measure or unit value (miara jednostkowa, wartość jednostkowa), or other unit-based descriptions in metrology and physics. In everyday language, jednostkowy may appear when contrasting per-unit quantities or single-unit items.
