Bramek

Bramek is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun bramka. Bramka itself means a gate or, in a sports context, a goal scored in a game such as football. As a grammatical form, bramek carries no separate meaning beyond indicating possession, quantity, or association in phrases that require the genitive plural.

In usage, bramek appears mainly in phrases where the noun is in genitive plural after numerals or other quantifying expressions. For example, in sports reporting you might find references to the count of goals with this form, such as the phrase meaning “the number of goals.” A typical sentence is W meczu padło kilka bramek, which translates to “Several goals were scored in the match.” The singular bramka is used when referring to a single goal, as in strzelić bramkę (“to score a goal”).

Etymology is straightforward: bramka is a diminutive form of brama, meaning gate, and bramek is its regular genitive plural form. The word bramek thus functions primarily as a grammatical construct rather than as an independent lexical item with a standalone sense.

See also: bramka (gate or goal), brama (gate). Notes: Bramek is commonly encountered in written Polish when discussing quantities of goals or in other contexts where bramka is pluralized and placed in the genitive form.
