kemijskoj

Kemijskoj is a grammatical form used in several South Slavic languages, most often Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Montenegrin. It is the feminine singular form of the adjective kemijski, which means chemical. The form kemijskoj appears in contexts where the noun it modifies is feminine and in the dative or locative case.

Etymology and morphology: The root comes from kemija, meaning chemistry, with the usual Slavic suffixes that create adjectives. In these languages, adjectives agree in gender, number, and case with the nouns they describe. For feminine nouns in the dative or locative singular, kemijskoj is the correct ending.

Usage: Kemijskoj is commonly used in phrases describing location or indirect objects. Examples include u kemijskoj industriji (in the chemical industry), u kemijskoj laboratoriji (in the chemical laboratory), and kemijskoj analizi (to or in the chemical analysis). The corresponding masculine and neuter nominative forms are kemijski and kemijsko, while feminine nominative is kemijska.

Context: Apart from Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Montenegrin, the form demonstrates how adjectives derived from kemija are inflected to match grammatical roles. It is a functional, not a standalone lexical entry, and appears in descriptive writing, technical texts, and everyday language when referring to chemical subjects in a feminine noun phrase.

See also: kemijski, kemijska, kemijsko. These forms reflect the same root and are used to describe chemical-related attributes across different genders and cases.
