obywateleska

Obywateleska is not a standard term in contemporary Polish. In most contexts, the form is considered a nonstandard or misspelled variant of obywatelska, the feminine form of the adjective obywatelski/obywatelskie meaning “civic” or “citizen-related.” Because it does not appear in official dictionaries, its precise meaning and usage are not codified.

Etymology and form. The recognized root is obywatel (citizen), combined with the adjectival suffix -elski/-elska to produce obywatelski (masculine), obywatelska (feminine), and obywatelskie (neuter/plural). The appearance of the variant obywateleska likely results from a typographical error, phonetic reinterpretation, or stylistic choice in fictional, historical, or regional writing. There is no widely accepted etymology that justifies a separate semantic category for this exact spelling.

Usage. When encountered, obywateleska is typically treated as a misspelling or as a proper noun used in specific, nonstandard contexts (for example, as a fictional place name, brand, or character). In formal writing, journalism, and standard Polish, obywatelska or its masculine counterpart obywatelski would be the appropriate forms. If used deliberately, authors may rely on the variant to evoke archaism, humor, or a particular stylistic effect.

See also. Obywatel, obywatelski, obywatelska, inicjatywa obywatelska, społeczeństwo obywatelskie.

Overall, obywateleska does not constitute a separate lexical entry in standard Polish and is best understood as a nonstandard or context-specific form of the underlying civic-related vocabulary.
