naszej

Naszej is a grammatical form in Polish. It is the genitive, dative, and locative singular feminine form of the possessive determiner nasz, meaning "our." It is used when the modified noun is feminine singular and the sentence requires one of those cases. Naszej is part of the declension system that makes possessive pronouns agree with gender, number, and case.

In practice, naszej appears with feminine singular nouns in several cases: genitive (to express possession, as in "naszej mamy" — "our mother"), dative (indirect object, as in "dla naszej mamie" though the common dative form would be "naszej mamie"), and locative (after prepositions like "o" or "w," as in "o naszej rodzinie" or "w naszej szkole"). The form contrasts with other gender-number combinations of the possessive determiner, such as nasz (masculine), nasze (neuter or plural), and nasza (feminine nominative).

Etymology and related forms: naszej is the typical feminine-singular ending in these cases, derived from nasz, the base meaning "our." The broader system enables the possessive to agree with nouns of different genders and numbers, producing forms like nasza, nasze, naszego, naszej, naszym, naszą, naszą, naszą, and so on depending on case.
