Questions & Answers about Należność jest wysoka.

What kind of word is należność, and what gender is it?

Należność is a noun, and it is feminine.

That matters because adjectives in Polish must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case. Here, since należność is feminine singular, the adjective appears as wysoka.

This noun is often used in formal, financial, accounting, or legal contexts. It can mean something like an amount due, a receivable, or a sum owed, depending on context.

Why is it wysoka and not wysoki?

Because wysoka has to agree with należność.

• należność = feminine singular
• so the adjective must also be feminine singular
• therefore: wysoka

Compare:

• wysoki rachunek = a high bill/account, masculine
• wysoka należność = a high amount due, feminine
• wysokie wynagrodzenie = high pay/remuneration, neuter

So this is a standard example of adjective agreement in Polish.
