odnoszeniu

Odnoszeniu is a Polish grammatical form that functions as the dative or locative singular of the noun odnoszenie, which denotes the act of relating, referring, or attributing something to another thing. The related verb base is odnosić (to relate, to refer) and the reflexive form odnosić się (to refer to, to pertain to). The noun expresses the process or act of relating something to something else.

In practice, odnosienie appears in phrases such as odnosienie się do czegoś, meaning “referring to something” or “addressing.” For the broader concept of reference, the more common noun is odniesienie, used in fixed phrases like w odniesieniu do (with regard to / in reference to). Both are semantically related but appear in different constructions and registers.

Grammatical notes: Odnoszenie is a neuter noun belonging to the -enie group. It declines like other abstract -enie nouns; the form odnosieniu is used for the dative or locative singular. The broader set of related forms includes odniesienie and related verb forms such as odnosić się.

Usage caveat: In modern Polish, speakers often prefer odniesienie for a concrete reference, especially in formal writing, while odnoszenie occurs mainly in contexts emphasizing the act or process of relating or referring.
