Kierowanej

Kierowanej is a Polish inflected form rather than a standalone lexical item. It is the feminine singular genitive (and, depending on the syntactic context, sometimes dative) form of the adjective or past participle kierowany, which means directed, guided, or steered. The form appears when the modifying noun is feminine and the sentence requires the feminine singular form in a genitive or dative case.

In usage, kierowanej accompanies a feminine noun and marks the relationship to that noun in cases such as genitive, as in phrases like kierowanej działalności (the directed or targeted activity) or kierowanej polityki (the directed policy). In nominative position, the corresponding feminine form is kierowana, as in kierowana działalność (a directed activity). The meaning of kierowanej centers on something that is being directed, guided, or controlled by an agent or framework.

Grammatical notes: kierowanej is formed from kierować (to direct, to guide) with the standard feminine singular ending -ej, reflecting gender and case agreement. Polish adjectives and participles decline across gender, number, and case, so other forms exist for masculine, neuter, and plural nouns (for example, kierowany for masculine singular, kierowane for neuter singular or plural).
