pocztowe

Pocztowe is a Polish adjective relating to the postal system or mail. In common usage, it describes things connected with sending, receiving, and handling mail, as well as with postal services. The term appears in official, commercial, and everyday language to distinguish postal topics from other forms of communication.

The root is the noun poczta, meaning mail or postal service. The basic forms are pocztowy (masculine), pocztowa (feminine), and pocztowe (neuter or plural). As an adjective, pocztowe indicates a relation to the post, for example in phrases such as usługi pocztowe or kod pocztowy.

Common uses include adres pocztowy (postal address), skrytka pocztowa (mailbox), znaczki pocztowe (postage stamps), and list pocztowy (postal letter). In contrast, for electronic communication, Polish uses poczta elektroniczna or e-mail; the term pocztowe is not used for digital mail but often appears with postal services and infrastructure.

Historically and in modern language, pocztowe reflects the central role of the postal system in administration, commerce, and daily life. The word is widespread in laws, business documents, and media to denote topics tied to mail delivery, logistics, and postal infrastructure.
