modne

Modne is a Polish adjective meaning fashionable or trendy. It is used to describe clothing, accessories, styles, and other items or phenomena that are considered in fashion at a given time. The word derives from moda, the Polish noun for fashion, and the base adjective modny. In Polish, modne is the neuter singular or plural form and agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. For example, modne ubrania (fashionable clothes) or modne dodatki (fashionable accessories) are common phrases.

Grammatical usage: modny is the masculine singular form; feminine singular is modna, while neuter singular and most plural forms are modne. The form chosen depends on the noun’s gender and number. In everyday speech and writing, modne often appears in discussions of current trends, advertising copy, fashion journalism, and consumer guides, signaling items that are widely regarded as stylish at the moment.

Context and nuance: modne emphasizes contemporary appeal and trendiness rather than ends in timeless quality. It can describe temporary fads as well as enduring stylistic directions within a season or year. The term is also used in broader cultural discourse to refer to societal preferences for appearance, design, and technology that align with current standards of taste.

Notes: While modne primarily functions as an adjective, it may appear in compound or aesthetic contexts in Polish prose and media. As with many fashion terms, its exact cut of meaning can vary with region, genre, and era.
