standardowej

Standardowej is a Polish feminine singular inflection of the adjective standardowy, meaning “standard.” In Polish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in gender, number, and case. For feminine singular, the form standardowa is used in the nominative; standardowej is used in the genitive, dative, and locative; and standardową is used in the accusative and instrumental. Thus, standardowej serves as a versatile ending that marks several grammatical cases depending on the syntactic position of the noun.

The form standardowej typically appears when describing feminine nouns in cases other than nominative or the instrumental/accusative whose endings differ. Common contexts include phrases that denote quality, version, or method, for example: jakość standardowej produkcji (the quality of standard production), w standardowej wersji (in the standard version), and standardowej metody (a standard method). These constructions illustrate how the same adjective form adjusts with the noun’s case without changing the base meaning.

Etymology and usage: standardowy is derived from the noun and adjective standard, itself ultimately from standard in English, adapted into Polish with the usual adjectival endings (-owy). Standardowej is widely used across technical, retail, and general prose to indicate conformity to a recognized standard.
