bliskiego

Bliskiego is the masculine genitive singular form of the Polish adjective bliski, meaning close or near. In Polish grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case; bliskiego appears when the noun is masculine singular and in the genitive case. The form is commonly found in noun phrases that express proximity or association, and in possessive constructions where the head noun governs the genitive.

Usage examples include phrases such as dom bliskiego przyjaciela (the house of a close friend) and zakres bliskiego zasięgu (a range within close distance). The construction often appears with nouns in genitive after verbs or prepositions that require the genitive case, reinforcing the sense of closeness or relationship.

The word bliskiego is one of several inflected forms of the base adjective bliski. Other forms correspond to different genders, numbers, and cases, for instance bliska (feminine singular), bliskie (neuter singular and plural), and bliscy (masculine personal plural). Together, these forms enable full agreement with Polish nouns across grammatical contexts.

Etymology traces bliski to common Slavic roots, with cognates in other Slavic languages such as Russian blizkiy (близкий) and Ukrainian blyznyy (близький), reflecting a shared meaning of proximity. In modern Polish, bliskiego remains a standard genitive form used in both everyday and formal language to denote closeness or connection.
