najliczniejsz

Najliczniejsz is not a standard standalone word in Polish. It is typically an incomplete or truncated form that speakers may encounter as a shortened stem in headlines, typos, or informal writing. In proper Polish, the intended meaning would normally be conveyed by a fully inflected superlative such as najliczebniejszy or najliczniejszy, depending on the base adjective used.

Etymology and morphology: The construction of the superlative in Polish often uses the prefix naj- together with a stem derived from licz- (from liczba, liczebność) or liczebny. The standard forms include najliczebniejszy (masculine singular), najliczebniejsza (feminine), and najliczebniejsze (neuter or plural). Other valid variants exist if a different base adjective is used, but najliczniejsz by itself is not considered correct in formal writing. The choice of ending depends on gender and number of the noun it modifies.

Usage and examples: In correct usage, one would say, for example, najliczebniejszy członek rodziny (the most numerous member of the family) or najliczebniejsi mieszkańcy miasta (the most numerous residents of the city). The phrase najliczebniejsza grupa osób would refer to the largest group of people. When writing formally or descriptively, it is preferable to use the full form that agrees with the noun, rather than the truncated najliczniejsz.

See also: najliczebniejszy, najliczebniejsza, najliczebne; liczebność; liczebny; liczba.

Notes: Because najliczniejsz is not a standard lemma, reference materials and dictionaries will not list it as an independent entry; it should be treated as an incomplete form of a standard superlative.
