Zabronionego

Zabronionego is the genitive singular masculine form of the Polish adjective zabroniony, meaning forbidden or prohibited. The adjective zabroniony is a participial adjective derived from the verb zabronić “to forbid.” In Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number and case, so zabroniony has different forms such as zabroniony (nom. masc. sing.), zabroniona (nom. fem. sing.), zabronione (nom. neut. sing.), zabronieni (nom. masc. pl.), and their corresponding genitive, dative, accusative, and other cases. Zabronionego is specifically used when the noun it describes is masculine and in the genitive case.

Usage and examples

The form zabronionego appears in phrases where a masculine noun is in the genitive, often after negation or after words that require genitive. For instance:

- Przewóz zabronionego towaru jest karany. (Transport of forbidden goods is punishable.)

- Obiekt zabronionego eksperymentu został zabezpieczony. (The object of the forbidden experiment was secured.)

- Bez zabronionego materiału nie mogło się odbyć badanie. (Without the forbidden material the study could not take place.)

Notes

Zabronionego is not a standalone noun; it is a grammatical form used to modify masculine nouns in the genitive. In everyday speech, speakers may instead use other constructions or the neuter form zabronione with appropriate nouns, depending on gender and case. The term remains primarily a grammatical form found in formal, legal, or literary contexts.
