uliczna

Uliczna is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective uliczny, meaning relating to a street or street-related. The term is used to describe things pertaining to streets, urban life, or street infrastructure, and appears in grammar as well as in toponymy and addressing.

Etymology and form: Uliczna is derived from the noun ulica (street) with the common adjectival suffix -iczny, and its feminine form agrees with feminine nouns in gender, number, and case. As a result, it modifies feminine nouns, for example in phrases like uliczna nazwa, meaning “street name.”

Usage: In ordinary Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify, so uliczna denotes a feminine noun. It is most often encountered in descriptive phrases such as “uliczna nazwa” (street name) or in discussions of street-related topics. In toponymy, uliczna may appear as part of a longer street name or, less commonly, as the standalone name of a street in a town or village, functioning as a proper noun.
