górnej

Górnej is a form of the Polish adjective górny, which means upper or top. It is used with feminine nouns in certain grammatical cases and does not stand alone as a word with independent meaning. The form górnej corresponds to the feminine singular genitive, dative, or locative cases.

In Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they describe in gender, number, and case. For feminine singular, the nominative form is górna, while górnej appears in genitive, dative, and locative contexts. The other feminine forms are górną for the accusative, and górna in the nominative. Neuter and masculine forms are different (górne and górny, respectively).

Common uses include phrases that describe position or part of something. For example:

- z górnej części miasta (from the upper part of the city) uses genitive.

- na górnej półce (on the upper shelf) uses locative after a preposition.

- widzę górną część (I see the upper part) uses accusative.

Górnej, therefore, is a grammatical inflection rather than a standalone lexical item. Its exact function depends on the noun it modifies and the case required by the sentence. It is a typical example of how Polish adjectives adapt endings to align with gender and case in descriptive phrases.
