silnej

Silnej is a Polish inflected form of the adjective silny, which means strong. In Polish, adjectives agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun they modify. Silnej appears with feminine singular nouns in the genitive, dative, and locative cases. It is not used for masculine or neuter nouns in this form.

Examples of usage:

- Genitive: brak silnej woli (lack of strong will).

- Dative/genitive contexts with feminine nouns: dla silnej kobiety (for a strong woman).

- Locative: o silnej kobiecie (about the strong woman).

Other related forms include silna, the nominative feminine singular, and silniejszy, the comparative form meaning stronger. The adverbial forms related to strength include silnie (strongly) and silniej (more strongly), which are distinct from the feminine genitive/dative/locative form silnej.

Notes:

- Silnej is primarily a grammatical form used to modify feminine nouns and is not a separate lexical word with its own independent meaning.

- The standard comparative of silny is silniejszy, and the primary adverbial form is silnie; silniej serves as a comparative adverb.

Etymology:

- The adjective silny derives from the Proto-Slavic root related to strength, with cognates in other Slavic languages (for example, Russian silny, Ukrainian sylʹny). The form silnej reflects regular feminine singular inflection in Polish.
