olejowy

Ole jowy is a Polish adjective meaning relating to oil or oil-based. It is formed from the noun olej (oil) with the adjectival suffix -owy and agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number (masculine singular olejowy, feminine singular olejowa, neuter singular olejowe; plural forms vary by case).

The term is widely used in both technical and everyday language to indicate a connection with oil or oil-derived substances. In industry and economy, common collocations include branża olejowa (oil industry), rynek olejowy (oil market), and produkt olejowy (oil product). In technical contexts, it appears in descriptions of fuels and lubricants, for example olej silnikowy (engine oil) and olej napędowy (diesel fuel). In the arts and crafts, the related phrase farba olejna (oil-based paint) is standard, reflecting the broader sense of oil as a base material.

Form and usage notes: as with other Polish adjectives derived from a noun, olejowy changes form to match the gender and number of the noun it describes. While most everyday references focus on oils and oil-derived materials, the adjective can also describe concepts in the oil sector, such as trends in the olejowy segment or publications in the olejowa industry.
