empatycznego

Empatycznego is a grammatical form rather than a standalone term in Polish. It is the genitive singular and the accusative singular of the adjective empatyczny, which means empathetic or relating to empathy. The base noun is empatia (empathy), from which the adjective is derived. In Polish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in gender, number, and case, so empatyczny appears as empatyczny (nominative masculine singular), empatyczna (nominative feminine singular), empatyczne (nominative neuter), and in the genitive/accusative masculine singular as empatycznego.

In practical use, empatycznego occurs in phrases where an adjective governs a noun in the genitive or a direct object in the accusative. Common contexts include discussions of behavior, attitudes, or approaches that involve understanding and sharing others’ feelings. For example: “brak empatycznego podejścia” (a lack of an empathetic/empathetic approach) or “empatycznego wysiłku” (of empathetic effort). It can also appear with broader phrases like “cechy empatyczne” (empathic traits) where the plural form appears instead of empatycznego.

Etymology and meaning: empatyczny comes from empatia (empathy), a concept borrowed into Polish to describe the capacity to understand and respond to others’ emotions. In everyday language, empatyczny is used to characterize people, actions, or policies that demonstrate empathy, while synonyms include wrażliwy and współczujący, though these have somewhat different nuances.

Notes: empatycznego is not a separate lexical item; it is the inflected form of empatyczny used according to grammar rules. Understanding its role aids in parsing sentences where the adjective modifies a noun in genitive or acts as a dependent for a predicative construction.
