najblizszego

Najblizszego is the genitive singular masculine and neuter form of the Polish adjective najbliższy, meaning closest or nearest. The base form najbliższy is the superlative of bliski, formed with the prefix naj- to express the highest degree of proximity. The word agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case, and there are corresponding forms for all cases and numbers (e.g., najbliższy, najbliższa, najbliższe in the nominative; najbliższego, najbliższej, najbliższego in the genitive; etc.).

Etymology and usage: najbliższy derives from bliski (close) with the superlative prefix naj-. It is used to describe objects or times that are nearest in space, time, or degree. The ASCII spelling najblizszego corresponds to the same word with diacritic marks omitted (Polish often writes ł and ś as l and s in plain text).

Grammatical notes: In the genitive singular, the form najbliższego is used for masculine and neuter nouns (e.g., najbliższego domu, najbliższego miejsca). In other cases, the appropriate inflected form is chosen to match the noun: nominative najbliższy/najbliższa/najbliższe; plural najbliżsi/najbliższe. The word frequently appears in phrases like “w najbliższym czasie” (in the near future), where the form najbliższym is used in the locative singular after the preposition w.
