twoj

Twoj is the ASCII representation of the Polish possessive determiner twój, meaning "your." In standard Polish, the word is written with a diacritic on the o (twój). The ASCII form twoj commonly appears in digital text when diacritics are unavailable, such as in some databases, programming, or plain-text contexts.

As a determiner, twój/ twoja/ twoje inflects for gender, number, and case to agree with the noun it modifies. In the singular:

- twój before a masculine singular noun, e.g., twój dom (your house)

- twoja before a feminine singular noun, e.g., twoja siostra (your sister)

- twoje before a neuter singular noun, e.g., twoje okno (your window)

In the plural, forms change to reflect the noun’s gender and number. Common patterns include twoi before masculine personal nouns (e.g., twoi koledzy = your male friends) and twoje before feminine or neuter/plural nouns (e.g., twoje koleżanki = your female friends).

Usage notes:

- twój is used before a noun to indicate possession by the person being spoken to, similar to “your” in English.

- It declines like an adjective and must agree with the noun it modifies.

- The non-diacritic form twoj is typically found only in informal or constrained contexts and is not standard in formal writing.

- It is not a proper noun; capitalization occurs only at the start of a sentence.
