chronionego

Chronionego is a grammatical form of the Polish adjective chroniony, meaning “protected.” It is the genitive singular form and is used when the head noun is masculine or neuter and the overall construction is in the genitive case. In Polish, adjectives decline to match the gender, number, and case of the nouns they describe, so chronionego appears in contexts where the noun is in genitive singular.

In practice, chronionego commonly appears in legal, administrative, or formal language, especially with nouns such as świadek (witness) or pracownik (employee). For example, ochrona chronionego świadka means “the protection of the protected witness,” and prawa chronionego pracownika means “the rights of the protected employee.” These phrases illustrate how chronionego marks a protected status within a genitive construction.

Grammatical note: chronionego is one of the genitive singular forms of the adjective chroniony. The feminine genitive singular is chronionej, and the plural genitive is chronionych. The form used depends on the gender and number of the noun it modifies and the case required by the surrounding syntactic structure. In everyday speech, chroniony or other base forms are often used, with chronionego appearing primarily in genitive phrases or after prepositions that govern the genitive.
