danego

Danego is a grammatical form found in the Polish language. It is the genitive singular form of the adjective dan y, meaning “given” or “aforementioned.” The form is used when an adjective modifies a masculine or neuter noun in a genitive construction, often in contexts that specify or reference a particular item or entity.

In standard usage, danego appears in noun phrases where the head noun is in the genitive case or when describing something already identified or defined in a preceding clause. It is commonly seen in formal or technical writing, including legal, administrative, and bureaucratic language, though it also appears in everyday speech. The gendered and case-dependent nature of Polish means danego corresponds to masculine and neuter forms in the genitive singular, with feminine variants existing for other contexts (for example, danej as the feminine genitive of dany).

Examples include phrases such as koloru danego samochodu (the color of the specified car), wartości danego kontrahenta (the value of the specified contractor), and w dniu danego wydarzenia (on the day of the specified event). These constructions illustrate how danego helps indicate that a particular object or concept has been identified or is being referenced within a broader discussion.

Overall, danego is a routine grammatical tool in Polish for marking specificity within noun phrases, rather than a standalone lexical word with a separate meaning. Its proper use depends on agreement with the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies.
