nieosigalny

Nieosigalny is a nonstandard Polish term that is most often encountered as a misspelling of the standard adjective nieosiągalny, which means unattainable or unreachable. The correct form nieosiągalny is used to describe something that cannot be achieved or obtained under present conditions.

Etymology and orthography: The standard word nieosiągalny derives from the negation prefix nie- and the adjective osiągalny, itself from the verb osiągnąć (to achieve). The term nieosigalny lacks the diacritic on the letter ą in osią-, which is required in Polish. This diacritic omission can occur in hurried writing, typographical errors, or OCR misreads, leading to the nonstandard variant nieosigalny. Because it does not conform to standard spelling, it is generally not listed in dictionaries and is not considered a recognized lexical item on its own.

Usage and reception: Nieosigalny is primarily encountered in informal contexts, online communications, or as a typographical mistake. In most formal, editorial, or academic texts, the standard nieosiągalny is preferred. If the nonstandard form appears as a stylistic choice, it is typically understood as an error rather than a deliberate neologism.
