wirtualnej

Wirtualnej is the feminine singular inflected form of the Polish adjective wirtualny. It appears in the genitive, dative and locative cases (for example in phrases like "świat wirtualnej rzeczywistości", "dostęp do wirtualnej sieci", "o wirtualnej maszynie"). As an adjective, it agrees in gender, number and case with the noun it modifies.

Etymology and meaning: wirtualny is a borrowing related to Latin virtualis and European equivalents (e.g., English virtual, German virtuell). It denotes something that exists in effect or in simulated form rather than as a physical, material entity. In modern usage it primarily refers to digital, simulated or non-physical phenomena.

Common contexts: computing and information technology (wirtualna maszyna, wirtualna pamięć), multimedia and simulation (wirtualna rzeczywistość, wirtualne środowisko), services and identities (wirtualne konto, wirtualny serwer) and conceptual uses (wirtualna przestrzeń, wirtualna ekonomia). The form wirtualnej is used when these nouns require the genitive, dative or locative feminine form.

Examples:

- "Uczestniczka opisała doświadczenie w wirtualnej rzeczywistości." (The participant described the experience in virtual reality.)

- "Potrzebuję dostępu do wirtualnej maszyny." (I need access to the virtual machine.)

Related terms include wirtualny (base adjective), wirtualnie (adverb) and virtualizacja (the technical process of virtualization).
