konkretna

Konkretna is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective konkretny, meaning concrete or specific. In Polish, adjectives agree with the gender, number, and case of the nouns they modify, so the masculine form is konkretny, the neuter form konkretne, and the feminine form konkretna. The word is used to mark something as definite, tangible, or well defined, as opposed to abstract or general.

Usage and examples: konkretna propozycja (a concrete proposal), konkretna odpowiedź (a concrete answer), konkretna liczba (a definite number). It commonly appears in scientific, legal, journalism, and everyday language when a speaker wishes to emphasize precision or specificity. The term can modify a wide range of feminine nouns, including abstract or concrete nouns, as long as the meaning is intended to be definite or particular.

Etymology and language notes: konkretna derives from the Polish adjective konkretny, which in turn traces back to Latin concretus, meaning solid or formed, later evolving in meaning toward definite or specific. The sense shift from physical solidity to definitional precision is reflected in many European languages and is preserved in Polish usage as well.

See also: konkretny, konret, concrete in other languages. The word is primarily lexical and grammatically bound to gender agreement, with its primary function being to specify a particular item or idea within a broader category.
