Hospitalnych

Hospitalnych is a Polish adjective form that denotes a relation to a hospital. It is the genitive plural form of the less common adjective hospitalny. In everyday modern Polish, the standard term for “hospital-related” is szpitalny, with the corresponding declined forms szpitalny, szpitalna, szpitalne, szpitalni, and their case-based variants. Hospitalnych appears mainly in specific grammatical contexts where the genitive plural is required, rather than as a commonly used attributive descriptor.

Etymology and usage context: the word hospitalny ultimately stems from Latin hospitālis, via historical Polish adaptations. Over time, szpitalny became the dominant form in contemporary Polish, while hospitalny and its inflected forms, including hospitalnych, persist primarily in older literature, legal texts, or specialized phrases. The distinction between the two adjectives can affect register and readability, with hospitalnych signaling a historical or formal stylistic note.

Morphology and notes: hospitalnych is the genitive plural form of hospitalny. As with other Polish adjectives, it declines across gender, number, and case, but its use today is largely confined to contexts requiring the genitive plural. In normal modern prose, most writers would choose szpitalnych or other synonyms such as szpitalny forms, depending on the noun they modify. Awareness of this form is mainly relevant for linguistic study, historical texts, or precise grammatical analysis.
