Elektryczny

Elektryczny is an adjective in Polish meaning "electric" or "relating to electricity." It describes things powered by or associated with electricity, such as devices, systems, facilities, or phenomena in the field of electrical engineering. Common phrases include energia elektryczna (electric energy), instalacja elektryczna (electrical installation), and obwód elektryczny (electrical circuit).

The term derives from electricity, with the Polish suffix -czny forming adjectives from the noun elektryczność (electricity). The masculine form is elektryczny, feminine elektryczna, neuter elektryczne; the plural forms are elektryczni and elektryczne in appropriate contexts. Its use is widespread in everyday language, technical writing, and education.

Polish distinguishes elektryczny from elektroniczny. While elektryczny refers to electricity in general and electrical devices, elektroniczny refers to electronics and electronic technology, often implying components like transistors or circuits used for information processing. For example, samochód elektryczny versus urządzenie elektroniczne.

Examples include silnik elektryczny (electric motor), światło elektryczne (electric light), oraz elektryfikacja miasta (electrification of a city). In compounds, elektryczny appears in many everyday terms such as napięcie elektryczne (electrical voltage) and prąd elektryczny (electric current).

The related noun elektryk refers to a professional electrician.
