zawodzie

Zawodzie is the locative singular form of the Polish noun zawód, which means profession or occupation. In Polish grammar it is used after locative-preposition constructions to indicate being in a particular occupation. The base meaning remains the concept of a person’s job, but zawodzie is the specific form that appears in sentences describing state or location of employment.

In practical usage, zawodzie appears in phrases with prepositions like w, meaning in, or in set expressions that describe one’s professional status. For example, w zawodzie lekarza means in the profession of a doctor, and pozostawać w zawodzie translates as to remain in the profession. The form is typically part of a larger noun phrase that specifies the occupation, such as w zawodzie nauczyciela (in the profession of a teacher).

Grammatical notes: zawodzie is the locative singular form of zawód. The noun is declined across cases to express different grammatical functions: nominative zawód, genitive zawodu, dative zawodowi, accusative zawód, instrumental zawodem, and locative zawodzie. In everyday language, zawód is used to refer to one’s occupation in a general sense, while the locative zawodzie is used when the sentence centers on being within or practicing that occupation.

Related concepts include terms like zawodowy (professional) and zawodnictwo (the realm of professional activity). Zawodzie does not denote a separate concept outside Polish grammar; it reflects the grammatical inflection of a common noun used to discuss occupations and professional life.

Note: In Polish toponyms, similar spellings may appear as place names, but as a grammatical form, zawodzie serves primarily to express state or location related to one’s profession.
