Punktowego

Punktowego is the genitive singular form of the Polish adjective punktowy, which means "point-based" or "pertaining to a point or dot." It derives from the noun punkt (point) with the adjectival suffix -owy. The term is used in various Polish contexts to denote something related to points, dots, or a scoring system structured around points.

In everyday usage, punktowy appears in phrases describing systems, methods, or measures organized by points. Common expressions include system punktowy (a point-based system, such as for penalties or scoring), ocena punktowa (point-based grading), and lista punktowa (bullet or point-based list). The form punktowego is the masculine/neuter/genitive singular used when modifying nouns in those contexts, for example "systemu punktowego" (of the point-based system).

In law and administration, "punktowy" is widely used for penalty systems. The Polish road-traffic regulation implements a system of penalty points; drivers accumulate points for offenses, and reaching a threshold can trigger administrative penalties such as license suspension. In education and statistics, "ocena punktowa" refers to scoring that assigns numeric points to indicate performance rather than qualitative judgments.

In mathematics and computing, punktowy can translate to "pointwise" when describing functions or operations evaluated at each point of a domain, depending on context. The term thus covers a range of uses across disciplines, unified by the core idea of points or dot-based evaluation. See also punkt, system punktowy, kary punktowe.
