teologiczn

Teologiczn is not a standalone word in Polish. It functions primarily as the stem of the adjective teologiczny, which means “theological.” Polish adjectives are declined for gender, number, and case, so the stem teologiczn- appears in a full range of inflected forms such as teologiczny (masculine singular nominative), teologiczna (feminine singular nominative), teologiczne (neuter singular nominative), and teologiczni (masculine personal plural nominative). The stem also yields the other cases: teologicznego, teologicznemu, teologicznym, teologicznych, teologicznym, and similar variants in plural and feminine forms. The adverbial form is teologicznie.

Etymology and relationship: teologiczn- derives from teologia (theology), which itself comes from Greek theologia. The Polish suffix -iczny is used to form adjectives indicating relation or pertaining to, producing the meaning “theological.” Thus teologiczny literally conveys “relating to theology.”

Usage: In standard Polish, the word teologiczny is the common form meaning “theological.” The stem teologiczn- is typically encountered in dictionaries, grammar descriptions, or linguistic analyses that discuss the word’s inflectional paradigm, rather than in ordinary prose where the full inflected forms are used. For example, one would normally say doktryny teologiczne (theological doctrines) or debata teologiczna (theological debate), employing the standard inflected forms rather than the bare stem.

See also: teologia; teologiczny; teologicznie. The discussion of teologiczn is primarily of interest in linguistic or lexicographic contexts rather than as a separate semantic concept.
