midzynarodowa

Międzynarodowa is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective międzynarodowy, meaning international. It is used to describe feminine nouns and to refer to something involving more than one nation, such as a conference, organization, or agreement. For example, międzynarodowa konferencja and międzynarodowa organizacja.

Etymology: The term derives from the prefix między- (“between”) combined with narodowy (“national”). The concept expresses relations among nations or across borders. Polish adjectives decline to agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun, so feminine singular is międzynarodowa; masculine singular is międzynarodowy; neuter singular is międzynarodowe; plural forms exist for all genders.

Usage: Common in official and journalistic language to denote cross-border activity. It appears in many collocations such as międzynarodowa pomoc, międzynarodowa polityka, międzynarodowa społeczność, and in names of organizations or events, for instance Międzynarodowa Organizacja Normalizacyjna (ISO) or międzynarodowa konferencja.

Notes: As a standalone proper noun, “Międzynarodowa” is uncommon; it typically appears as part of a longer name. The adverbial form is międzynarodowo, meaning internationally.
