Mojego

Mojego is the genitive singular form of the Polish possessive determiner mój, used to indicate possession with masculine or neuter nouns in the genitive case. It is not used with feminine nouns, which take the form mojej in the genitive.

In Polish, possessive adjectives decline with the noun they modify. The form mojego appears in the genitive singular when the possessed noun is masculine or neuter. For example: dom mojego brata (my brother’s house), kolor mojego domu (the color of my house), bez mojego psa (without my dog). The corresponding feminine genitive is mojej (e.g., dom mojej siostry, the house of my sister).

Mojego can also appear in noun phrases expressing possession with feminine possessors, where the feminine genitive mojej is used instead of mojego. For instance, dom mojej siostry means “my sister’s house.” The plural genitive form is moich, as in książki moich rodziców (my parents’ books).

Etymology and overview: mo­jego is the genitive singular form of mój, which derives from the Proto-Slavic root for “my.” The form changes across cases and gender to agree with the possessed noun, following the same pattern as Polish adjectives and other determiners.

Notes: The word itself does not function independently as a noun or pronoun; it is a grammatical form used within a possessive phrase. Correct use depends on the gender and case of the possessed noun and on the possessor’s gender.
