gorsza

Gorsza is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective gorszy, used to express a worse quality or condition in comparison with something else. It agrees with feminine nouns and pronouns in gender and number. The base gorszy is the comparative form of zły, meaning bad, formed with the suffix -szy.

In use, gorsza describes a feminine noun as worse: for example, ta sytuacja jest gorsza od tamtej (this situation is worse than that). It can also appear in predicates: To jest gorsza propozycja (That is a worse proposal). The construction gorsza od or gorsza niż is common for making comparisons.

Grammatical notes: Polish adjectives decline to match the gender and number of the noun. The related forms of the same adjective include gorszy (masculine singular) and gorsze (neuter singular), with corresponding plural forms for different genders. In practical use, gorsza mainly appears when the noun it modifies is feminine, such as sytuacja, propozycja, decyzja, or pogoda.

Origin and meaning: gorsza derives from zły (bad) and represents the comparative degree, indicating a lower quality or a more negative condition relative to another item. It is widely used across formal and informal Polish to compare feminine nouns or subjects in a range of contexts, from everyday observations to descriptive writing.
