wyzszy

Wyższy, unaccented wyzszy in non-diacritic texts, is a Polish adjective meaning higher, taller, or more advanced. It is the comparative form of the adjective wysoki (high). The word is used to compare two or more entities in terms of height, level, degree, or status, and it participates in standard Polish adjective inflection. The basic forms are masculine singular wyższy, feminine singular wyższa, and neuter singular wyższe; plural forms follow the patterns of Polish adjectives, and the corresponding superlative is najwyższy (masc. sing.), najwyższa (fem. sing.), najwyższe (neut. sing./pl.).

Etymology: wyższy is derived from wysoki with the prefix wy- and a comparative suffix that yields a higher degree form. It belongs to the regular class of Polish gradable adjectives that form comparisons with the -szy suffix and with the higher “naj-” prefix for the superlative.

Usage: The word appears in constructions such as wyższy od czegoś (higher than something) and wyższy niż (higher than). It collocates with nouns to express greater height, level, quality, or rank, as in wyższy poziom (a higher level), wyższy rangą (of higher rank), or wyższa jakość (higher quality).

Non-diacritic form: wyzszy is encountered in contexts where diacritics are omitted, such as computer systems or URLs, but the standard Polish spelling uses wyższy, wyższa, wyższe.
