dalsze

Dalsze is a Polish adjective meaning “further” or “additional.” It is used to indicate that something comes after what has already been mentioned or that more items or actions are involved. The form dalsze is most commonly placed before plural nouns, as in dalsze kroki (further steps), dalsze badania (further research), or dalsze działania (additional actions). In these contexts, the word conveys continuation, extension, or augmentation relative to a prior point.

Etymology and related forms: Dalsze derives from the root dal- connected with distance, and it is related to the adjective daleki meaning distant. The word has corresponding singular forms: dalszy (masculine), dalsza (feminine), and dalekie (neuter), with provas of number and gender shaping its form. The plural form dalsze is the familiar, productive form used with most plural nouns in the nominative case.

Usage notes: In formal and written Polish, dalsze is common in reports, analyses, and policy language to signal progression or the need for further work. It pairs with a wide range of nouns, including abstract concepts (dalsze rozważania, dalsze wnioski) and concrete items (dalsze kroki, dalsze działania). The term is distinct from adverbial uses of dalej, which can mean “further” in a different syntactic role.
