Kompaktowych

Kompaktowych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective kompaktowy, meaning compact. In Polish, adjectives decline to agree with the gender, number and case of the noun they describe. Kompaktowych is used when the noun it modifies is in genitive plural, for example in phrases such as serii samochodów kompaktowych or katalogu kompaktowych rozwiązań, conveying the sense of “compact” as a characteristic of the plural noun.

Usage and examples

The nominative plural form of the adjective is kompaktowe (as in samochody kompaktowe – compact cars). When the noun is in genitive plural, the form becomes kompaktowych, as in seria samochodów kompaktowych (a series of compact cars) or katalog kompaktowych rozwiązań (a catalog of compact solutions). This pattern is common in product descriptions, marketing language, and technical contexts where size or category needs precise specification.

Etymology and notes

Kompaktowy derives from the root kompakt-, common in several European languages, with the Polish suffix -owy forming an adjective. The word development mirrors the adoption of the concept of compactness across languages, and kompaktowych follows standard Polish inflection rules for genitive plural adjectives. The form is distinct from the nominative plural kompaktowe, which appears with different grammatical roles in sentences.
