egzemplarza

Egzemplarza is the genitive singular form of the Polish noun egzemplarz, which denotes a copy, exemplar, or specimen of a publication, document, or object produced as part of a series or edition. In everyday use, egzemplarz can refer to a physical copy of a book, a report, a document, or any item produced in multiple copies for distribution.

Grammatical notes: The noun egzemplarz is declined as a masculine, strong noun. The genitive singular form is egzemplarza, while the nominative singular is egzemplarz. The form egzemplarza appears in contexts that require the genitive case, such as after certain numerals, adjectives, and prepositions, e.g., brak egzemplarza (a lack of a copy), potrzebuję jednego egzemplarza (I need one copy).

Usage: Egzemplarza is used mainly in phrases that require the genitive singular. Common contexts include bibliographic or legal language, where it may appear after verbs or prepositions that govern the genitive: brak egzemplarza, bez egzemplarza, nie ma egzemplarza. In quantities, the noun after numerals may take different forms: two or more copies typically use other cases (e.g., dwa egzemplarze), while phrases requiring genitive singular include constructions with one or other determiner or emphasis on the absence or possession of a single copy.

Etymology: The Polish egzemplarz is borrowed from German Exemplar, itself from Latin exemplum, reflecting a long history of borrowing across Central European languages.
