Questions & Answers about Badanie techniczne jest jutro.

What exactly is badanie here: a noun or a verb?

It is a noun. More specifically, it is a verbal noun formed from badać (to examine / to inspect / to test).

So badanie means something like:

• examination
• inspection
• test

In this sentence, it is the subject: the inspection / examination.

Why is it badanie techniczne, with the adjective after the noun? I thought Polish adjectives usually came before the noun.

That is a very good question, because in Polish adjectives do usually come before the noun.

However, badanie techniczne is a very common fixed expression, especially in official and practical language. In expressions like this, Polish can put the noun first and the classifying adjective second.

Here techniczne is not just a casual description like an inspection that happens to be technical. It helps form the established term badanie techniczne.

So:

• usual pattern: adjective + noun
• but in some set terms: noun + adjective

This phrase is one of those common set terms.

Why does techniczny become techniczne?
