nieprzypadkowego

Nieprzypadkowego is a form of the Polish adjective nieprzypadkowy, which means not incidental or not by chance, i.e., deliberate, intentional, or non-random. The word arises from prefix nie- attached to przypadkowy, which itself comes from przypadek (a case or occurrence) and conveys the sense of something occurring by chance. In use, nieprzypadkowy emphasizes purposeful or designed character rather than mere coincidence.

Grammatically, nieprzypadkowy declines like other Polish adjectives. The form nieprzypadkowego is the genitive singular masculine or neuter, used before masculine or neuter nouns in the genitive case. For example: nieprzypadkowego charakteru (of a non-random character), nieprzypadkowego zdarzenia (of a deliberate event). The feminine genitive would be nieprzypadkowej, and other cases and numbers follow the standard adjectival pattern.

Common usage and nuance: nieprzypadkowy denotes intentionality, planning, or non-randomness, distinguishing it from przypadkowy (incidental, random). It can appear in scientific, academic, or literary contexts to underline that a result, behavior, or pattern is not due to chance. Synonyms include celowy, zamierzony, and świadomy, though each carries a slightly different nuance. The adverbial form nieprzypadkowo expresses the manner of action: “zrobiono to nieprzypadkowo” meaning it was done deliberately.

Related terms and contexts: in research and statistics, phrases like nieprzypadkowa próba or nieprzypadkowy dobór describe non-random sampling or purposive selection. The term is widely understood in formal Polish and contrasts with phrases that indicate randomness or chance.
