krytycznemu

Krytycznemu is the dative singular form of the Polish adjective krytyczny, meaning critical, crucial, or pertaining to critique. In Polish, adjectives decline to reflect the gender, number and case of the noun they modify; the dative singular masculine and neuter forms of this adjective are krytycznemu, while feminine dative is krytycznej. The form krytycznemu is therefore used before masculine personal nouns in the dative case (for example krytycznemu podejściu) and before neuter nouns in the dative case (for example krytycznemu spojrzeniu).

In practice, krytycznym i krytycznemu forms appear in contexts describing a recipient or indirect object, or after verbs and in phrases that govern the dative. The sense conveyed by krytyczny can be evaluative (related to critique) or refer to urgency or importance in a situation, and the dative form simply reflects grammatical agreement with the modified noun.

Examples:

- Krytycznemu podejściu do problemu trzeba poświęcić więcej uwagi. (More attention must be given to the critical approach to the problem.)

- Krytycznemu spojrzeniu na raport towarzyszy ostrożność. (A critical look at the report is accompanied by caution.)

As a grammatical form, krytycznemu is not a standalone word with distinct meaning; it is the required dative singular form used when the noun it modifies is in the dative case. It illustrates Polish adjective inflection and its agreement with gender and case in analytic contexts.
