Strefowego

Strefowego is the genitive singular masculine form of the Polish adjective strefowy, which is derived from the noun strefa meaning zone or area. It is not a standalone concept in itself, but a grammatical form used to indicate relation to a particular zone or type of zone.

In Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. The base form strefowy changes to strefowego in the masculine singular genitive, as seen in phrases such as schemat strefowego podziału miasta, meaning “the scheme of the zone-based division of the city.” Other inflected forms of the adjective exist for different cases and numbers (strefowy, strefowa, strefowe, strefowi, etc.), but strefowego specifically marks masculine singular genitive.

The term appears primarily in technical, urban planning, security, and logistics contexts, where it describes characteristics, classifications, or divisions tied to a particular zone. Common usages include phrases like granice strefowe (zone boundaries) or podział strefowy (zone-based division). In these contexts, strefowego functions as a grammatical inflection of an otherwise ordinary attributive adjective rather than as an independent lexical item.

Etymology and related terms: strefowy is formed from strefa plus the suffix -owy. Related words include strefa (zone) and podział strefowy (zone-based division). The form strefowego is tied to the masculine genitive singular, while other forms adapt to different genders and cases.
