drewniana

Drewniana is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective drewniany, meaning wooden or made of wood. It is used to describe feminine nouns and agrees with them in gender, number, and case. For example, in the nominative case you would say drewniana szafa (a wooden wardrobe).

Etymology and meaning: the word derives from drewno, meaning wood, with the adjectival suffix -ny, forming drewniany (masculine), with feminine drewniana and neuter drewniane. The form drewniana signals that the noun it modifies is feminine.

Usage: drewniana describes materials or objects made of wood. It can also appear in figurative expressions where the sense of wooden quality or appearance is intended. Because Polish adjectives decline, drewniana changes form to match the noun’s case and number. For instance, drewniana szafa becomes drewnianej szafy in the genitive or drewnianą szafę in the accusative.

Common contexts include furniture, flooring, decorative items, and architectural elements, such as drewniana podłoga (wooden floor), drewniana rama (wooden frame), or drewniana krata (wooden lattice).

Notes: drewniana is the feminine form; for masculine nouns the corresponding form is drewniany, and for neuter nouns it is drewniane. The term is primarily descriptive and does not imply any value judgment beyond indicating material or construction from wood.
