repertuarowi

Repertuarowi is the dative singular form of the Polish noun repertuar, meaning repertoire. Repertuar denotes a collection of works that a performer, ensemble, theater, or institution can present, as well as a catalog or list of works in contexts such as music, theater, film, or libraries. The word is masculine inanimate and is borrowed from French répertoire, via Latin repertorium.

The form repertuarowi is used when the noun functions as the indirect object in a sentence. For example: Poświęciłem repertuarowi dużo uwagi, meaning I devoted a lot of attention to the repertoire. The noun is declined as follows in the singular: N repertuar, G repertuaru, D repertuarowi, A repertuar, I repertuarem, L repertuarze, V repertuarze. In the plural it appears as N repertuary, G repertuarów, D repertuarom, A repertuary, I repertuarami, L repertuarach, V repertuary.

In everyday language, repertuar describes the set of works available for performance or study, such as a musician’s program, a theater’s season, or a library’s collection of items. The dative form repertuarowi is not a separate word with a distinct meaning; it is simply the grammatical case used in sentences where the repertoire is the recipient or affected entity of the action.

Related terms include repertuarowy, an adjective meaning pertaining to the repertoire, and related phrases that specify types of repertoires (musical, theatrical, film). Understanding the dative form helps in constructing sentences that correctly indicate direction, possession, or indirect action involving the repertoire.
