materialnego

Materialnego is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form in the Polish language. It is the genitive singular form of the adjective materialny, which means “material” or “tangible.” This form is used when the noun it modifies is in the genitive case, a common situation after certain verbs, prepositions, or determiners.

In usage, materialnego appears in phrases describing physical or tangible aspects, such as material evidence or material costs. For example: “brak materialnego dowodu” (no material evidence) and “koszt materialnego wyposażenia” (the cost of the material/tangible equipment). These examples illustrate how the genitive singular form aligns with masculine nouns like dowód and neuter nouns like wyposażenie, to convey notions of physical or tangible things.

Grammatical notes: materialnego corresponds to genitive singular masculine and neuter forms of materialny. The feminine genitive singular is materialnej, and the genitive plural is materialnych. For reference, the standard nominative forms are materialny (masculine), materialna (feminine), and materialne (neuter). The term is often used in contexts contrasting material (physical) versus immaterial (intangible) concepts, such as dobra materialne (material goods) versus dobra niematerialne (immaterial goods).

Etymology and scope: materialny derives from the Latin root materialis, through the Polish development of adjectives meaning “of material.” In Polish, the form materialnego is common in law, economics, philosophy, and everyday discourse when describing things or evidence that are physically present or tangible.
