roboczej

Roboczej is a grammatical form in Polish, not a standalone lexical item. It is the feminine genitive and dative singular of the adjective roboczy (and its feminine base robocza), used to modify a feminine noun in those cases. In practice, roboczej appears whenever a feminine noun is described as “working,” “operational,” or in a provisional sense, depending on the surrounding context.

Common usages are found in phrases that denote a working or draft form, especially in technology, publishing, and administration. Examples include roboczej wersji, meaning “the working version,” and roboczej kopii, meaning “the working copy.” These constructions convey that the form is interim, under development, or intended for practical testing rather than the final version. Roboczej can also occur in the sense of “operational” when paired with suitable nouns, though more standard forms for that sense may be used in everyday speech (for example, in phrases like tryb roboczy, “operational/working mode,” where the masculine form is used).

As a case-inflected adjective, roboczej must agree with its noun in gender, number, and case. It does not function as an independent word with its own lexical entry, but as a morphologically derived form that appears within noun phrases. The distinction between roboczej and other related forms (such as robocz a/roboczy in other genders) is primarily grammatical rather than semantic, though context determines whether the sense leans toward “work-related,” “working,” or “draft/working version.”
