### Każdy Declines Like an Adjective

You have used **każdy** since lesson 141 — now the whole paradigm. It takes ordinary adjectival endings, agreeing with its noun in gender and case:

| | masculine | feminine | neuter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nominative | każdy | każda | każde |
| Genitive | każdego | każdej | każdego |
| Dative | każdemu | każdej | każdemu |
| Accusative | każdego/każdy | każdą | każde |
| Instrumental | każdym | każdą | każdym |
| Locative | każdym | każdej | każdym |

{{item:1051691}}

### The Genitive of Time

**Każdego dnia**, **każdego ranka**, **każdej zimy** — the Genitive marks the repeated time frame, exactly like *pewnego dnia*.

### No Plural of Its Own

**Każdy** is singular-only: *każdy uczeń* — every pupil, one at a time. For the whole group Polish switches to **wszyscy** / **wszystkie**, which you know from lesson 9.
