typowego

Typowego is the genitive singular form of the Polish adjective typowy, meaning “typical” or “characteristic.” It is used to describe nouns in the genitive case, and more generally in constructions where the head noun requires the genitive (for example after negation, expressions of quantity, or certain verbs). The adjective typowy itself is derived from typ- (type) with the suffix -owy; its root traces back to Latin typus through Greek typos, reflecting the idea of a model or standard.

In grammar, typowy inflects like other Polish adjectives. The masculine/neuter genitive singular form is typowego, the feminine genitive singular form is typowej, while the nominative forms are typowy (masc.), typowa (fem.), typowe (neut.). The adverbial form typowo means “typically.”

Common uses include phrases such as brak typowego zachowania (a lack of typical behavior) or cecha typowego człowieka (a feature of a typical person). In everyday language typowy can also describe something ordinary or representative of a type, for example typowy polski dom (a typical Polish house). The word is closely related to the noun type and is part of a broader set of adjectives formed with the suffix -owy in Polish.
