rodzaj nijaki

[edit]

This looks like an unidiomatic sum of its parts to me:

Nijaki can also mean "bland, featureless, unremarkable", while rodzaj may mean "kind, sort (genre?)"; but "unremarkable kind" would rather be nijaki rodzaj. But otherwise, not really. Keφr 17:27, 16 October 2013 (UTC) — IFYPFY. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 17:48, 16 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Are Polish adjectives normally prepositive or postpositive? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 17:48, 16 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
The fact that nijaki can mean more than one thing is why we have more than one meaning at nijaki. It's not a massive coincidence. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:14, 16 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Normally prepositive, but they are often postpositive in set phrases. Postpositive adjective suggests a more non-literal/idiomatic meaning. Prepositive adjectives are more likely to be read literally, although the less literal meaning should also be recognised by a native speaker. Rodzaj nijaki is a set phrase. Whether it is an idiom I recognise as disputable. Keφr 21:29, 16 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Keep. A grammatical term and a set expression. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 22:46, 16 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
OK then, I defer to you (Keφr), in that case. Keep. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 23:28, 16 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
