zdrowsza

Zdrowsza is the feminine singular comparative form of the Polish adjective zdrowy, meaning healthier or more healthful. It is used to compare health-related qualities of feminine nouns and to describe choices or states that are more healthful.

The base form zdrowy comes from health (zdrowie). In Polish, the comparative of adjectives is formed with different endings to reflect gender and number: masculine singular zdrowszy, feminine singular zdrowsza, neuter singular zdrowsze, and plural forms such as zdrowsi or zdrowsze depending on the noun.

Common uses of zdrowsza occur in health, nutrition, and everyday conversation. Examples include phrases like "zdrowsza dieta" (a healthier diet), "zdrowsza opcja" (a healthier option), or "to zdrowsza wersja produktu" (this is the healthier version of the product). It often appears in contexts discussing lifestyle improvements, medical advice, or marketing claims emphasizing health benefits.

Notes: zdrowsza specifically modifies feminine nouns; masculine nouns use zdrowszy, neuter nouns use zdrowsze, and plural references align with standard Polish plural agreement (zdrowsi or zdrowsze, depending on the noun). The term is widely understood across informally spoken Polish and formal health writing.
