ustawieniu

Ustawieniu is a grammatical form of the Polish noun ustawienie, which generally denotes an act of setting, arrangement, configuration, or positioning. As a form, ustawieniu is the dative singular or the locative singular case, depending on the syntactic construction. The base noun ustawienie refers to the process or result of placing something in a chosen condition or configuration.

The term derives from the verb ustawić, meaning to set up, arrange, or adjust. Core senses include establishing a configuration or layout of objects, calibrating a device, or determining settings in a system. In everyday language one might speak of ustawienie mebli (the arrangement of furniture), ustawienie ostrości (the focus setting), or ustawienie parametrów (the configuration of parameters).

In usage, ustawienie appears across domains, notably in technology, engineering, photography, and logistics. In IT and engineering it denotes a configuration or parameter setting; in photography or cinema it refers to how equipment is arranged for a shot; in spaces and processes it can mean the layout or organization of a particular area. The locative form is common after prepositions such as w or o, as in w ustawieniu aparatu (in the camera setup) or o ustawieniu systemu (about the system configuration). The dative singular form is less frequent and occurs in specific constructions where the noun is indirectly affected by the action.

Related terms include ustawienie (the base noun), ustawienie domyślne (default setting), ustawianie (the process of setting), and ustawiony (set, positioned). In English, ustawienie translates to setting, configuration, arrangement, or positioning.
