celowego

Celowego is the genitive singular form of the Polish adjective celowy, which means deliberate, intentional, or aimed. It is used to describe nouns in contexts that express purpose or targeting and appears most often when the modified noun is in the genitive case. For example, celowego planu or celowego działania would translate roughly as “of a deliberate plan” or “of deliberate action.” The form is part of normal Polish adjective declension and agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies.

In Polish, celowy and its inflected forms describe intentionality, implying that an action, object, or effort was performed with a specific aim in mind. This contrasts with the adverb celowo, which means deliberately or intentionally in an action-wide sense rather than as a property of a noun. The adjective celowy can be used in a wide range of contexts, including everyday language, journalism, and legal or formal writing, to denote purposeful character or targeted nature.

Etymologically, celowego derives from the noun cel, meaning goal or aim, with the standard adjectival suffix -owy. The root reflects the idea of a purpose or end toward which an action is directed. This relation to the concept of a goal is preserved in related Polish terms such as cel, celowy, and celowo.
