Maturalnym

Maturalnym is the instrumental singular form of the Polish adjective maturalny. The base adjective is used to describe something related to maturity or relating to the Polish school-leaving examination (matura). As a grammatical form, maturalnym functions to modify masculine or neuter nouns in the instrumental case, and it appears in phrases where the noun it modifies is in instrumental.

The root maturalny derives from matura in one sense (the exam) and from maturation in another sense (biological or developmental). In everyday language, maturalny most often appears in contexts tied to the matura exam, for example in constructions that emphasize the exam-related attribute of a noun. In non-exam contexts, the adjective can describe maturational or developmental properties, such as in biological or psychological language.

In terms of inflection, the corresponding forms are maturalnym for masculine/neuter singular instrumental, maturalną for feminine singular instrumental, and maturalnymi for plural instrumental. This makes maturalnym a typical example of Polish adjective declension in the instrumental case. A common usage pattern is to place the noun in its instrumental form (egzaminem) together with the adjective in its instrumental form (maturalnym), as in z egzaminem maturalnym.

Overall, maturalnym is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form used to express the instrumental case of the adjective maturalny. Its meaning aligns with maturity-related or exam-related attributes depending on context. See also matura, egzamin maturalny, and maturalny.
