Drukowanych

Drukowanych is the genitive plural (and, in some contexts, the accusative plural) form of the Polish adjective or past participle drukowany, meaning printed. It originates from the verb drukować, to print, and is used to describe nouns that have been produced by printing. The form is common in phrases referring to multiple printed items or pages, books, or documents.

In Polish, adjectives derived from verbs via the participial suffix -owany agree with the noun they modify in gender, number, and case. The word drukowanych specifically marks plural nouns in the genitive or accusative case. For example, in the phrase liczbа drukowanych stron, drukowanych describes stron (pages) that are printed, with strony in genitive plural due to the governing word liczba.

Usage and nuance: drukowanych is typically found in contexts that emphasize the physical or formal aspect of printed material—books, brochures, archives, or documents—as opposed to digital formats. The related form wydrukowany is often used when referring to a single printed item or when emphasizing that something has been printed, rather than describing multiple items.

Examples:

- liczba drukowanych stron w podręczniku

- materiały drukowanych źródeł

- archiwum drukowanych dokumentów
