Polish words ending in -alny (from English -al)

English -al adjectives take Polish adjective clothing and become -alny: normal → normalny, natural → naturalny, legal → legalny. The root is yours already; only the ending is new.

• Adjective endings agree: normalny (masc.), normalna (fem.), normalne (neut.).
• Stress is second from the end: nor-MAL-ny.
• The adverb takes -alnie: normalnie (normally).
• Related nouns often end in -alność: normalność (normality).

Start with these

• normal → normalny🔊
• global → globalny🔊
• local → lokalny🔊
