alarmowa

Alarmowa is the feminine form of the Polish adjective alarmowy, meaning relating to an alarm or warning. The term is formed from the noun alarm, which is borrowed into Polish, with the standard adjectival suffix -owa used to describe feminine nouns. In use, alarmowa describes devices, situations, or systems associated with alarms and emergency alerts.

Common contexts include alarmowa syrena (alarm siren), which refers to warning sirens, and instalacja alarmowa (alarm system), referring to devices designed to detect breaches or trigger alerts. The expression sytuacja alarmowa denotes an emergency or alarm condition. Because the form agrees with feminine nouns, masculine and neuter equivalents are alarmowy and alarmowe, respectively. The word appears primarily in technical, safety, and municipal language, where it characterizes procedures, components, or states intended to trigger or respond to alarms.

Etymologically, alarmowa reflects the broader borrowing of the concept of alarm into Polish from the noun alarm, with Polish inflection adapting it to gender and number. There is no separate entity or organization commonly known simply as Alarmowa; the term functions as an ordinary adjective within the language.
