jednoosobowy

Jednoosobowy is a Polish adjective meaning relating to, designed for, or consisting of a single person. It is formed from the numeral jeden (one) and the noun osoba (person) with the adjectival suffix -owy. The form agrees with the gender and number of the noun it describes (masculine singular: jednoosobowy; feminine singular: jednoosobowa; neuter singular: jednoosobowe; plural forms follow standard Polish adjective inflection).

Usage and examples include a range of contexts where only one person is involved or accommodated. Common phrases are pokój jednoosobowy (single-occupancy room), spółka jednoosobowa (one-person company), and jednoosobowa działalność gospodarcza (one-person business activity). The term can describe departments, services, or products intended for a single user or proprietor, as well as organizational units with a single owner or participant.

Notes on grammar and style: jedenoosobowy functions as an attributive adjective preceding a noun, but it can also appear in predicative constructions, for example: To jest jednoosobowy projekt. The term is widely used in everyday Polish as well as formal registers. In translations, the closest equivalents are “single-person” or “one-person,” chosen according to context (for instance, a single-room hotel versus a one-person company).
