ostrzegawczego

Ostrzegawczego is the genitive singular form of the Polish adjective ostrzegawczy, meaning warning or cautionary. The adjective derives from the verb ostrzegać (to warn) and is used to describe elements that serve to alert or inform about potential danger. Ostrzegawczego appears when the modified noun is masculine or neuter and the phrase is in the genitive case, for example in references to a warning signal or notice.

In practice, ostrzegawczego is often found in fixed expressions within safety, regulatory, or technical language. Common examples include sygnału ostrzegawczego (of a warning signal) and komunikatu ostrzegawczego (of a warning notice). The form is part of the standard inflectional system of Polish adjectives, which change according to gender, number, and case. The base form ostrzegawczy is used in the nominative position to mean “warning” or “cautionary” when describing a noun directly, while ostrzegawczego serves appropriate grammatical functions in genitive constructions.
