rozumne

Rozumne is the neuter singular form of the Polish adjective rozumny, meaning reasonable or sensible. It is used to describe neuter nouns, often in phrases such as rozumne zachowanie (reasonable behavior) or rozumne założenie (a sensible assumption). The corresponding forms for other genders are rozumny (masculine) and rozumna (feminine). In common usage, rozumne is found in both a attributive position before the noun and in predicative constructions.

Etymology and grammar: Rozumne derives from the noun rozum, meaning mind or reason, with the adjectival suffix -ny. As an adjective, it conveys evaluation of prudence, logic, or sanity. Like other Polish adjectives, its form agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies. The neuter form rozumne is typical when the noun is neuter, such as zachowanie, działanie, plan.

Usage: Rozumne carries a nuance of thoughtfulness and prudence, often implying that a plan or action is well thought out or sensible. It can appear in formal or written Polish, and is frequently contrasted with more emotional or impulsive assessments using synonyms such as sensowny or rozsądny.

Examples:

- To było rozumne rozwiązanie. (That was a reasonable solution.)

- Rozumne decyzje przyniosły pozytywne efekty. (Sensibly made decisions brought positive results.)

- Rozumne założenie tej tezy zasługiwało na dalsze badania. (A sensible assumption of this thesis deserved further study.)
