stacjonowa

Stacjonowa is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective stacjonowy, meaning stationary, fixed, or on-site. It is used to describe feminine nouns to indicate that something is located in one place rather than mobile or remote. The opposite forms include stacjonowy (masculine), stacjonowe (neuter), and stacjonowani/stacjonowane depending on the noun’s gender and number.

The adjective derives from the noun stacja (station) and the verb stacjonować (to station or to be stationed). In Polish, the form stacjonowa appears specifically before feminine nouns, aligning with standard adjectival agreement rules.

Common usages cover contexts where the physical presence or fixed location of a service, facility, or object is emphasized. Examples include apteka stacjonowa (a brick-and-mortar pharmacy) and usługa stacjonarna (an on-site service). Other feminine-noun combinations frequently encountered in daily language are szkoła stacjonarna (in-person school) and placówka stacjonarna (a physical branch or facility).

Notes on interpretation: stacjonowa conveys a contrast with mobile, remote, or online equivalents, such as usługa zdalna (remote service) or sklep online (online store) in contextual terms. It functions as a descriptive attribute rather than a standalone noun and requires a feminine noun to complete its meaning.
