charytatywnej

Charytatywna (and its related forms, such as charytatywny) relates to charity and charitable activities. In Polish, charytatywny describes things connected with helping others, especially by giving material or moral support. The term is commonly used to characterize organizations, events, and efforts whose purpose is aiding people in need. Typical collocations include działalność charytatywna (charitable activity), organizacje charytatywne (charitable organizations), and zbiórki charytatywne (charity fundraisers).

The form charytatywnej appears when the adjective is used with feminine nouns in the genitive singular, for example in phrases like finansowanie działalności charytatywnej (funding of charitable activity) or dochód z działalności charytatywnej (income from charitable activity). The base adjectives have the full paradigm: charytatywny (m.), charytatywna (f.), charytatywne (n.). Other cases follow standard Polish adjective declensions.

Etymology traces charytatywny to linguistic roots linked with charity. The word derives from terms related to caritas or charité, reflecting the concept of benevolent aid. Over time, charytatywny has gained broad usage beyond strictly religious contexts and is now common in formal, institutional, and civil society language. It often appears in policy descriptions, NGO discourse, and media reporting on philanthropic initiatives.
