Swedish would need three forms of adjectives: neuter, common, and plural. Following Egor's examples: Polish territory - polskt territorium (neuter) Polish diplomat - polsk diplomat (common) Polish musketeers - polska musketörer (plural) There are some very ugly workarounds in place right now, including loads of slashes with all the potentially required suffix letters.
