zawodowej

Zawodowej is the feminine genitive, dative, or locative singular form of the Polish adjective zawodowy, which means professional or vocational. The base form zawodowy is used with masculine nouns, while its feminine counterpart is zawodowa. The corresponding forms across cases and numbers change according to standard Polish adjective declension. In addition to the feminine forms, the feminine accusative singular is zawodową, and the adverbial form is zawodowo.

In practice, zawodowy and its feminine form zawodowa describe things related to a profession, occupation, or skilled work. It is commonly used in contexts such as education, training, and employment to denote vocational aspects rather than general or academic ones. For example, the phrase edukacja zawodowa refers to education that prepares individuals for specific trades or professions. Another frequent collocation is rynek pracy zawodowej, meaning the market for professional or skilled work. The form zawodowej appears in sentences where the feminine noun it modifies is in genitive, dative, or locative cases, such as w zakresie zawodowej edukacji or brak możliwości zawodowej kariery.

Understanding zawodowej involves recognizing its role as a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept. It signals that the noun it accompanies is feminine and that the described attribute pertains to a profession or vocational domain. The broader concept is the distinction between zawodowy (pertaining to a profession) and zawodowa (feminine form used with feminine nouns).
