Summary/Abstract: The article deals with current tendencies and changes in the Polish inflectional system. The largest number of changes can be observed in three most frequently encountered cases: Nominative, Genitive and Accusative. Changes in the remaning cases are limited to several isolated lexemes. An important characteristic of the current inflectional system of Polish is an increase in the number of indeclinable nouns, as well as the slow disappearance of groups of rare and irregular nouns.
