Oczywistej

Oczywistej is the feminine singular genitive, dative, or locative form of the Polish adjective oczywisty, meaning obvious or evident. As a declined form, it does not stand as a separate word in dictionaries but functions as a grammatical ending attached to a feminine noun in specific cases. The base adjective ojoswisty describes something that is readily perceived, understood, or accepted as true.

In usage, oczywisty is used to express that a fact or circumstance is clear to most people. The form oczywistej appears in contexts such as genitive, dative, or locative cases, for example with a feminine noun in the corresponding case: w oczywistej sprawie (in the obvious matter), brak oczywistej przyczyny (a lack of an obvious cause), or o oczywistej prawdzie (about the obvious truth). In instrumental construction one would use the feminine instrumental form: z oczywistą prawdą.

Etymology traces the adjective to the root meaning related to perception or sight, aligning with Polish terms for visibility and clarity. The word is common in both written and spoken Polish, and its synonyms include widoczny (visible), ewidentny (evident), and jasny (clear). Differences among them lie in nuance and register rather than core meaning.
