Umiarkowanej

Umiarkowanej is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective umiarkowany, meaning moderate or restrained. It is not a standalone noun but a grammatical inflection used to describe feminine nouns. In Polish adjectives agree with the noun they modify in gender, number and case, so umiarkowanej appears in the genitive, dative and locative cases for feminine singular nouns.

Grammatical usage and forms

For feminine singular nouns the nominative form is umiarkowana, while the forms in other cases include umiarkowanej (genitive, dative, and locative) and umiarkowaną (accusative). The occurrence of umiarkowanej thus signals a feminine noun in one of these cases, for example when the noun is in genitive, dative, or locative position in the sentence.
