ostrzeenie

Ostrzeenie is not a standard Polish word. It is most often encountered as a misspelling or non-diacritic rendering of the correct noun ostrzeżenie, which means "warning" or "alert." In Polish orthography, diacritics are important; removing the letters ż and ę yields ostrzeenie or ostrzezenie, among other variants.

Etymology: The standard form ostrzeżenie derives from the verb ostrzegać (to warn) or ostrzec, with the suffix -enie forming a noun that denotes the act or result of warning. The diacritic characters ż and ę are integral to the meaning in formal Polish.

Usage: The word ostrzeżenie is used in safety notices, weather advisories, product warnings, and general communication to signal caution or risk. In normal writing, the correct phrase is ostrzeżenie przed czymś (a warning about something). The non-diacritic variants are generally considered orthographic errors in formal contexts and may be corrected in editors and style guides.

Translations: In English, the equivalent is "warning" or "alert." In German, the term is Warnung. In Polish-language dictionaries, ostrzeżenie is the standard entry; ostrzeenie or ostrzezenie are not recognized as correct spellings in standard Polish.
