króconej

Króconej is the feminine singular genitive (and, in practice, the related cases such as dative and locative) form of a Polish adjective that conveys the sense of something being shortened or reduced. It is used to modify feminine nouns and appears in phrases where the noun is in a case that requires the -ej ending for the adjective stem.

The form derives from the root that expresses shortening or reduction, often linked to the verb krócić, though in many contemporary contexts the more common adjective for “shortened” is skrócony. The word króconej is thus primarily a grammatical inflection used within a noun phrase rather than a standalone lexical item with its own independent meaning.

Usage notes include that króconej is encountered most often in phrases describing a feminine noun in a case that takes the -ej ending. For example, in the phrase w króconej wersji dokumentu, króconej wersji means “in the shortened version.” Similarly, króconej długości would indicate a reduced or shorter length when referring to a feminine noun.

In summary, króconej is the feminine genitive (also used in dative/locative) form of an adjective indicating shortening or reduction, functioning within noun phrases to describe a feminine noun in contexts where the form must agree in case and gender. It illustrates Polish adjective agreement and the way participial stems interact with case endings in declined forms.
