Silne

Silne is a Polish adjective meaning strong, powerful, or intense. It is the neuter singular and feminine plural form of the base adjective silny, and it inflects according to Polish grammar to agree with gender and number. In masculine forms, the adjective changes differently (for example silny in singular masculine). The word is widely used in everyday language to describe physical strength, potency, or the intensity of an effect.

Etymology and cognates: silne derives from the Slavic root sil-/sila, a common basis for strength-related terms across Slavic languages. Related words appear in other languages, such as Russian sila (strength), Czech síla, and Polish siła (the noun for strength), all sharing the same semantic core.

Usage: Silne can describe people, objects, or phenomena. It covers physical strength (silne mięśnie, silne ramiona), intensity of light or force (silne światło, silne uderzenie), and abstract strength such as evidence or will (silne dowody, silna wola). The form is used with neuter nouns in the singular and with feminine nouns or other contexts where the agreement requires a form like silne, depending on gender and number of the noun it modifies.

See also: silny, siła. The term appears primarily in Polish-language texts and is a common part of everyday vocabulary for describing strength, power, or intensity in various domains.
