jodowa

Jodowa is the feminine form of the Polish adjective jodowy, meaning iodine-related or containing iodine. It is formed from the noun jod (iodine) and the adjectival suffix -owa, used to describe feminine nouns.

In usage, jodowa describes items or contexts that involve iodine. Common phrases include dieta jodowa (an iodine-rich diet) and woda jodowana (iodinated water). The term can modify feminine nouns such as substancja jodowa (an iodine-containing substance) and is often found in medical, nutritional, or chemical discussions.

Grammatically, jodowa agrees with feminine singular nouns. The masculine singular form is jodowy and the neuter singular form is jodowe; plural forms align with the noun they describe. As with other Polish adjectives, it is not capitalized unless it begins a sentence.

Originating from the root jod (iodine) with the adjectival suffix -owa, jodowa is part of a productive pattern for forming descriptive adjectives in Polish. Related forms include jodowy (masculine) and jodowe (neuter/plural), which share the same root and meaning but agree with different noun gender and number.
