balkonowi

Balkonowi is a Polish grammatical form, specifically the dative singular of the noun balkon, which means balcony. It is used when the balcony is the indirect object of a verb, indicating to whom or for whom an action is performed. In English terms, it corresponds to a construction like “to the balcony” or “for the balcony.”

As a masculine, inanimate noun, balkon follows a standard Polish declension pattern. The base form is balkon; the dative singular is balkonowi. Other singular forms include nominative balkon and genitive balkonu, with instrumental balkonem and locative balkonie for the other cases. In plural, the forms differ accordingly. The dative form balkonowi is the one you encounter when the balcony is the recipient or beneficiary within the sentence, or when describing a design or architectural attribute directed toward the balcony in descriptive text.

Usage notes: balkonowi is not a separate lexical item with its own meaning beyond being the dative singular of balkon. It appears in contexts such as architectural descriptions, room or balcony-specific narration, or any construction where the action is directed at or involves the balcony as an indirect object. Like other dative forms, its exact usage depends on the governing verb and the syntactic role of balkon in the sentence.
