teoretycznego

Teoretycznego is the genitive singular form of the Polish adjective teoretyczny, meaning “theoretical.” In Polish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in gender, number and case; teoretycznego appears before masculine or neuter nouns when the noun is in the genitive singular. It is commonly used in academic and scientific language to attribute a theoretical character to a thing, idea or concept.

Examples of its use include phrases such as teoretycznego modelu (of a theoretical model), teoretycznego założenia (of a theoretical assumption), teoretycznego dowodu (of a theoretical proof) and teoretycznego zjawiska (of a theoretical phenomenon). For feminine nouns, the genitive singular form is teoretycznej, as in teoretycznej koncepcji or teoretycznej teorii. In plural contexts, different endings apply, for example teoretyczne koncepcje in the nominative plural.

In meaning, teoretyzny relates to theory rather than practice and often contrasts with praktyczny (practical) or empiryczny (empirical). The word derives from teorie (theory) with the productive Polish adjective suffix -czny, forming terms that describe theoretical aspects, models, or frameworks.

Usage notes: teoretycznego typically appears in noun phrases where the head noun is in genitive singular, such as after verbs that govern genitive (e.g., nie mam teoretycznego uzasadnienia) or in prepositional phrases indicating possession or specification. The form is one of several gendered inflections of teoretyczny, which also include teoretyczna (feminine) and teoretyczne (neuter or plural, depending on number and case).
