Budowniczych

Budowniczych is a Polish lexical form that functions as a genitive plural (and also accusative plural) of the masculine noun budowniczy, meaning a builder or construction worker. It is used when referring to a group of builders or to the work attributed to such a group, for example in phrases like praca budowniczych (the work of builders) or inicjatywy budowniczych (initiatives of builders). As a grammatical form, budowniczych marks possession or serves as the object of a verb or preposition in contexts involving multiple builders.

In ordinary usage, budowniczy denotes a person involved in construction, such as a site worker, craftsman, or technician in the building trades. The plural form budowniczych appears when the group is the subject of a sentence’s possessive or objective relations, distinguishing it from singular forms like budowniczy. The term can thus occur in both technical descriptions of the construction industry and in more general discussions about builders as a social or professional group.

Etymology traces budowniczy to the Polish verb budować (to build) with the agentive suffix -niczy, yielding a word for a person who builds. The related noun budowniczy is contrasted with other building-related terms such as murarz (bricklayer) or cieśla (carpenter), which specify particular trades within construction.
