mokre

Mokre is a term used in Slavic linguistic and geographic contexts. In Polish, mokre is the neuter singular form of the adjective mokry, meaning wet or damp. It is used to describe weather, ground and materials, and appears in various grammatical forms such as mokra (feminine singular) and mokre in plural usage. The adverbial form is mokro.

Toponymy is another common use of the word Mokre. It is the name of several villages or settlements in Poland. These places are typically named from the descriptive meaning of the adjective, often reflecting historical landscape characteristics such as moisture or marshiness at the site. The exact number and location of settlements called Mokre have varied with administrative changes and local history.

Etymology and related terms: The Polish mokry/mokre derives from Slavic roots for “wet,” with cognates in related languages that express a similar meaning. The form Mokre used as a place name most likely originates from this descriptive sense rather than from a personal name or other unrelated origin. Outside of toponymy, Mokre is not widely used as a standalone noun in contemporary Polish, but it remains a common entry in dictionaries as part of the adjective paradigm.

In summary, Mokre serves as both a descriptive Polish adjective form meaning wet and as a toponym for several Polish settlements, reflecting a historical association with damp or marshy terrain.
