Powolnej

Powolnej is a grammatical form of the Polish adjective powolny, meaning slow. It is the feminine singular form used in the genitive, dative, and locative cases when describing a feminine singular noun. For example, powolnej muzyki (genitive feminine: of slow music), dla powolnej kobiety (dative feminine: for a slow woman), o powolnej pracy (locative feminine: about slow work). The corresponding instrumental feminine singular form is powolną, as in z powolną pracą (with slow work).

The base forms of the adjective are powolny for masculine singular and powolne for neuter singular, with plural forms powolni (masculine personal) and powolne (neuter and feminine plural). The related adverb is powoli, meaning “slowly,” and the comparative form is powolniejszy, with the superlative najpowolniejszy. These related forms show the standard Polish pattern of agreeing adjectives with nouns in gender, number, and case.

In usage, powolnej typically appears in descriptive phrases where a feminine singular noun is inflected in genitive, dative, or locative. The form is not a separate lexical entry but a grammatical inflection of powolny; understanding its case and gender is essential for correct sentence construction. The word and its declined forms are common in everyday Polish, in literature, journalism, and discourse discussing pace, tempo, or manner of action.
