dolnej

Dolnej is a word form in Polish that functions as the feminine singular form of the adjective dolny, meaning "lower" or "lower part." Specifically, dolnej is used for feminine nouns in the genitive, dative, and locative cases. It accompanies feminine nouns to indicate a position beneath or in the lower part of something. For example, in the phrase dolnej części miasta, dolnej is the genitive singular feminine form of dolny modifying części miasta.

Grammatically, dolny declines across cases and numbers. In the feminine singular, the nominative form is dolna, while the genitive, dative, and locative singular form is dolnej, and the instrumental singular form is dolną. This contrasts with other gender and number forms such as dolny (masculine nominative), dolna (feminine nominative), and dolne (neuter or plural forms), which together create the full inflection pattern of the adjective dolny.

Etymologically, dolny derives from the Polish noun dół, meaning "a hole, hollow, or bottom," reflecting the sense of something being lower or beneath. The suffixes and endings attach to indicate agreement with the noun it modifies.

In usage, dolnej appears commonly in descriptive phrases that describe location or part-from phrases, such as dolnej części, dolnej półkuli, or dolnej strefie. It is a routine element of standard Polish grammar and style when portraying relative position or hierarchical ordering in feminine contexts.
