Cennych

Cennych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective cenny, meaning valuable or precious. It is not a standalone noun but a grammatical form used to modify plural nouns in the genitive case, typically translating to “of valuable” or “valuable” in contexts like valuable information or valuable traits.

Etymology and morphology: The adjective cenny (valuable) belongs to the group of Polish adjectives that decline according to gender, number, and case. In the genitive plural, common for describing plural nouns in phrases that express value or worth, the form appears as cennych. This form is widely used in formal and written Polish to indicate merit, importance, or usefulness of the head noun.

Usage and examples: Cennych appears in expressions such as cennych informacji (valuable information), cennych rad (valuable advice), and cennych cech (valuable traits). It commonly pairs with nouns in the genitive plural, often following verbs or constructs that require the genitive, or in noun phrases that express worth or value. In paraphrase, cennych can be replaced by synonyms like wartościowych or cenionych, depending on nuance and register.

See also: Cenny, the base adjective; wartość (value); cenność (valued quality in some contexts); wartościowy as a closely related synonym meaning valuable or valuable-looking.

Notes: Cennych functions as a grammatical form rather than an independent term. Its use signals that what is being described is regarded as valuable, important, or worth noting, and it appears frequently in formal writing, journalism, and academic Polish.
