europejska

Europejska is a Polish adjective meaning European or pertaining to Europe. It is used to describe nouns that relate to Europe, European institutions, policies, culture, or geography. Like other Polish adjectives, europejska inflects for gender, number, and case: masculine form is europejski, feminine is europejska, neuter is europejskie. In plural, the forms are europejscy for masculine personal nouns and europejskie for feminine, neuter, or non‑personal nouns.

Etymology traces europejska to the proper noun Europe plus the common adjectival suffix -ski (-ska, -skie), forming adjectives that denote belonging or affiliation. The term is widely used in everyday language and in official or formal contexts to indicate European scope or character.

Usage and context: europejska frequently appears in compound phrases such as polityka europejska (European policy), kultura europejska (European culture), or integracja europejska (European integration). It also features in descriptions of programs, research projects, institutions, or events that have a European focus. In these cases, europejska functions as a descriptive element rather than a standalone organization or entity.

Relation to other terms: europejska is related to related forms such as Europejski (masculine), Europejska Unia or Unia Europejska when used in extended names, and to broader concepts like Europe, European Union (Unia Europejska), and European integration.
