elektrycznemu

Elektrycznemu is the dative singular and locative singular form of the Polish adjective elektryczny, meaning electric or electrical. In Polish, adjectives decline for gender, number, and case, so elektryczny has various forms such as elektryczny (nominative masculine singular), elektrycznego (genitive), elektrycznemu (dative), elektrycznym (instrumental and locative), with corresponding forms for feminine and neuter as well as plurals. The form elektrycznemu specifically appears when describing masculine, inanimate nouns in the dative or locative case.

Usage examples illustrate its role. In the dative: Przyglądałem się elektrycznemu przewodowi. In the locative: W elektrycznym domu mieszka rodzina. These constructions show how the adjective agrees with the noun it modifies and aligns with the case required by the sentence’s grammatical function.

Etymology and relation to related terms: elektryczny derives from elektryczność (electricity), which in turn traces to concepts of electrical phenomena studied in the 18th and 19th centuries. The root ultimately connects to the Greek word elektron, meaning amber, which was historically associated with static electricity. Polish borrowed and adapted these terms through scientific and industrial terminology, resulting in modern words such as elektryczny, elektryczność, and related forms, including elektryczny’s inflected variants like elektrycznemu.
