Kwasowych

Kwasowych is the genitive plural and locative plural form of the Polish adjective kwasowy, meaning “acidic” or “acid-related.” The form is used with plural nouns in the genitive or locative cases, for example: substancji kwasowych (acidic substances, genitive plural) and w roztworach kwasowych (in acidic solutions, locative plural). The nominative plural of the adjective is kwasowe.

Origin and meaning: kwasowy derives from the noun kwas (acid) plus the adjectival suffix -owy. The adjective broadly describes substances, environments, or properties associated with acids. In technical language, kwasowy often has a more precise connotation than the everyday synonym kwaśny, which can also describe taste or general sourness.

Typical usage: It appears in chemistry, biology, pharmacology, food science, and related fields, where one discusses kwasowe roztwory, kwasowe warunki, or kwasowe środowisko. The form kwasowych will be encountered when the modified noun is plural and in genitive or locative case, such as “substancji kwasowych” or “w roztworach kwasowych.”

Related terms: kwasowość (acidity) and kwaśny (sour, acidic). See also general notes on Polish adjectives with -owy endings and their decline across cases and numbers.
