formalnej

Formalnej is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective formalny, used to describe feminine nouns in certain grammatical cases. It is not a standalone word, but a morphological form that appears in contexts where the noun it modifies is feminine and in the appropriate case.

In Polish, adjectives decline to agree with gender, number, and case. The form formalnej commonly appears in genitive singular, dative singular, and locative singular for feminine nouns. For example, in phrases like formalnej korespondencji (formal correspondence, genitive singular) or o formalnej stronie (about the formal side, locative singular). It can also occur in phrases such as dla formalnej kobiety (for a formal woman, genitive/dative singular depending on construction).

Usage and meaning: formalnej conveys the sense of formality or adherence to formal standards when describing a feminine noun. It does not carry a distinct meaning separate from formalny but is the correct inflected form to agree with feminine nouns in the given case.

Notes: The word is common in writing and speech dealing with etiquette, administration, law, business communication, and other contexts where formality is discussed or required. It can appear in both neutral and formal registers, and its usage mirrors that of other feminine singular forms of adjectives ending in -ny in their declined cases.
