Generacyjny

Generacyjny is a Polish adjective meaning relating to generation or generational. It characterizes phenomena, relationships, or attributes that involve or span generations. The term is derived from the noun generacja (generation) with the adjectival suffix -czny. It is used in sociological, demographic, cultural, and linguistic contexts to discuss differences, roles, or trends across different age cohorts or generations.

Common usages include phrases such as "różnice generacyjne" (generational differences), "cechy generacyjne" (generational features), or "perspektywy generacyjne" (generational perspectives). In contrast to międzypokoleniowy (intergenerational), which emphasizes interaction between generations, generacyjny stresses the dimension of generation as such. The term can be employed in analyses of consumer behavior, education, or media consumption where generational cohorts shape patterns.

The word is related to generacja and pokolenie; see also generacja, pokolenie, międzypokoleniowy.
