Umownej

Umownej is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective umowny, used to express that something is contractual, agreed, or based on an agreement. It appears in several grammatical cases, most commonly in genitive, dative, and locative, while the accusative and instrumental forms are umowną. In practice, umownej modifies feminine nouns such as klauzula, podstawa, or treść when describing aspects stemming from an agreement.

Grammatically, umowny follows standard Polish adjective declension. For masculine nouns you would use umowny (nominative), for feminine nouns umowna in the nominative, and umownej in genitive/dative/locative forms. For neuter nouns the corresponding form is umowne, and plural forms vary by gender and case. The key point is that umownej marks agreement with a feminine noun in specific cases, while umowną marks it in accusative or instrumental contexts.

Usage examples:

- Strony działały na umownej podstawie. (The parties operated on a contractual basis.)

- Wykonawca naruszył umowną klauzulę. (The contractor breached a contractual clause.)

- Umownej treści dokument został przekazany stron. (Note: this generic phrasing would typically be adjusted to a context like “treść umowy” to avoid awkwardness; the form umownej is primarily used with feminine nouns in genitive/dative/locative.)

Etymology and related terms: umownej derives from umowa (contract) with the adjectival suffix -ny/-na/-ne. Related terms include umowny (contractual, agreeing), umowa (contract), and umownie (adverb meaning by agreement). The term is common in legal, business, and formal Polish to denote aspects governed by a contract.
