znaczcego

Znaczego is a grammatical form in Polish and not a standalone lexical entry. It is an inflected form of adjectives related to significance, namely znaczny meaning “significant, considerable” and znaczący meaning “meaningful, significant” or “notable.” The form appears when the accompanying noun requires a genitive (or other appropriate) case, reflecting how adjectives decline in Polish.

Etymology and meaning: both znaczny and znaczący derive from the verb znaczyć, “to signify” or “to mean.” As an inflected form, znaczego conveys the sense of importance or significance within the noun it modifies, but it is not used as an independent headword in standard dictionaries. In everyday use, the base adjectives znaczny and znaczący are more common, while znaczego shows up as the genitive form in phrases where the noun is inflected.

Usage notes: znaczego typically occurs in contexts requiring a genitive masculine singular form of the adjective. For example, in a construction such as znaczącego wpływu, which translates to “significant influence,” the adjective agrees with the masculine noun in genitive. The form may also appear in other genitive or related cases depending on the surrounding syntax. When speaking or writing more broadly about significance, writers usually use znaczny or znaczący rather than the inflected form znaczego.
