mianownikowej

Mianownikowej is a grammatical form encountered in the Polish language. It represents the feminine singular genitive form of the adjective mianownikowy, which means “nominative-related” or “pertaining to the nominative case.” In Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number and case; for feminine singular nouns in non-nominative cases, adjectives of the -owy type take the ending -owej. Consequently, the form mianownikowej may appear in phrases describing a feminine noun in cases such as genitive, dative or locative.

The basic, nominative feminine singular form of the adjective is mianownikowa, while mianownikowej is used for genitive feminine singular (and, in many grammatical constructions, for the dative and locative as well). This pattern reflects standard Polish adjective declension, where endings shift according to case.

In usage, mianownikowej is primarily found in linguistic descriptions, grammars, and scholarly works rather than in everyday speech. It serves as an illustrative example of how adjectives decline when describing nouns in different cases.

Examples of related forms include mianownikowa (nominative feminine singular) and mianownikową (accusative or instrumental feminine singular), illustrating the broader decline pattern of -owy adjectives. The term mianownikowej thus sits within the broader discussion of Polish grammar, noun cases, and adjective declension.
