porodkowego

Porodkowego is a grammatical form in Polish. It is the genitive singular form of the adjective porodkowy, which means obstetric or birth-related. The base adjective more commonly appears as porodowy; the form porodkowego is used when it modifies a masculine or neuter noun that is in the genitive case, for example within phrases like oddziału porodkowego (the obstetric ward) or sprzętu porodkowego (obstetric equipment).

In practice, the term is relatively rare in everyday language, and writers typically use the standard form porodowy. The genitive form porodkowego appears when the noun it describes is itself in genitive, or when the phrase is part of a larger grammatical construction that requires genitive. Understanding this form helps in parsing and constructing phrases that relate to birth or obstetrics in a grammatically correct way.

Etymology and related terms: the adjective porodkowy is derived from the noun poród (birth) and the suffix -kowy, forming a word that means related to birth or obstetrics. The more common spelling and usage in modern Polish is porodowy, though porodkowego may occur in certain inflected contexts. Related concepts include poród (birth), porodowy (obstetric), and phrases describing obstetric care, departments, or equipment.

Note on usage: when writing about obstetrics in Polish, it is generally advisable to use the standard form porodowy unless a specific genitive construction requires porodkowego. In such cases, porodkowego functions as the correct inflected form in phrases like oddziału porodkowego or sprzętu porodkowego.
