ostatniej

Ostatniej is a declined form of the Polish adjective ostatni, meaning last or final. It appears in feminine singular and is used in three grammatical cases: genitive, dative, and locative. In Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case, so ostatni yields multiple forms depending on the context. The form ostatniej specifically marks feminine singular in these cases.

Common forms of ostatni in feminine singular include:

- Genitive singular: ostatniej

- Dative singular: ostatniej

- Locative singular: ostatniej

Examples of usage:

- w ostatniej chwili (in the last moment) – locative case, with chwila being feminine and the preposition w requiring locative.

- ostatniej edycji (of the last edition) – genitive case, modifying edycja, a feminine noun.

- na ostatniej prostej (on the final stretch) – locative case, with prosta as a feminine noun.

Notes:

- Ostatniej is not a separate lexical item beyond the adjective ostatni; it is one of its declined forms used to agree with feminine nouns in specific cases.

- Other gender forms of ostatni adapt similarly: nominative feminine ostatnia, genitive/dative/locative masculine or neuter forms differ, illustrating standard Polish agreement rules.

- The term appears in various contexts to denote sequence position, recency, or final phase, often in idiomatic phrases or formal writing.
