bezpieczna

Bezpieczna is the feminine adjective form of the Polish word bezpieczeńczny, meaning “safe” or “secure.” It modifies nouns that are grammatically feminine, for example bezpieczna droga (safe road), bezpieczna przystanka (safe stop). The masculine counterpart is bezpieczny, the neuter is bezpieczne, and the plural adjective is bezpieczni (masc. and fem.) or bezpieczne (neut.) depending on the noun’s gender.

The root of the word comes from bezpieczeństwo, Polish for “safety,” which in turn derives from the Old Polish biezc (to run, flow) and sęcz (to be). In modern usage, bezpieczna is applied broadly: it can describe anything that offers protection – a safe place (bezpieczna przystań), a secure internet connection (bezpieczna sieć), or even a trustworthy person (bezpieczna osoba). It is used in both literal safety contexts and in figurative speech such as bezpieczna finansowo sytuacja (financially safe situation).

In legal and bureaucratic documents, the term often appears in conditions guaranteeing safety standards, e.g., bezpieczna powierzchnia pracy (safe working environment). It is also common in everyday conversation when people emphasize caution or security. The adjective is declined in the usual Polish adjective endings: bezpieczna, bezpiecznego, bezpiecznym, bezpieczną, bezpieczną, bezpiecznym, bezpiecznym, bezpieczną.

Bezpieczna is thus a versatile descriptor that integrates into various aspects of Polish language, from everyday speech to formal texts.
