Prawej

Prawej is the feminine singular inflection of the Polish adjective prawy, meaning right or correct. In Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case, so prawej is used before feminine nouns in certain cases, most commonly the genitive singular and often the dative singular.

Etymology and meaning: the form derives from the root praw- found in words like prawy and prawo, with related senses of direction (right-hand) and correctness. The same root also appears in the noun prawo, meaning law or right, reflecting historical connections between legality, direction, and entitlement.

Usage: prawej appears before feminine singular nouns when the noun is in a genitive or dative position. For example, ból prawej ręki means “pain of the right arm” (genitive singular of ręka). Z prawej strony means “from the right side” (genitive singular of strona). Another example is dla prawej kobiety, meaning “for the right-hand/ right-hand-side woman” in a context where the adjective describes a feminine noun in dative. In everyday language, prawej is most often encountered in phrases describing physical sides, locations, or attributes connected to the right side.

Notes: prawej is not a standalone noun; it is a grammatical form of prawy used to modify feminine nouns. Its exact case usage depends on the syntactic role of the modified noun within the sentence.
