Polish Grammar
For a table showing the declension of Polish adjectival surnames, ending in -ski/-ska or -cki/-cka, see Polish name#Declension of adjectival surnames.
Most short adjectives have a comparative form in -szy or -iejszy, and a superlative obtained by prefixing naj- to the comparative. For adjectives that do not have these forms, the words bardziej ("more") and najbardziej ("most") are used before the adjective to make comparative and superlative phrases.
Adverbs are formed from adjectives with the ending ie, or in some cases -o. Comparatives of adverbs are formed (where they exist) with the ending -iej. Superlatives have the prefix naj- as for adjectives.
For more details on the formation of the above forms, see Adjectives in the article on Polish morphology. For demonstrative adjectives, interrogative adjectives, etc., see also the Pronouns section below.
