Lekarskich

Lekarskich is a form of the Polish adjective lekarski, which means “medical” or “clinical.” The word appears in the genitive plural (or sometimes the locative plural) for masculine inanimate nouns and in the genitive, dative, instrumental, and locative plural for feminine nouns, as in “opinie lekarskich” (medical opinions) or “miejsca lekarskich” (medical facilities). It is the one of several inflected forms that correspond to the root adjective lekarski. In neutral contexts it is used to qualify objects, institutions, or concepts related to medical science, clinical practice, or health care.

The root lekarski derives from the noun lekarz, the Polish word for “doctor.” The adjective is formed by adding the suffix –ski, which in Polish produces an adjectival form that often indicates association or belonging. The base noun itself comes from the Proto‑Slavic verb lekǫti, “to heal,” and has cognates in other Slavic languages such as Russian лекарь (lekár’) and Czech lékár (doctor). The genitive plural, lekarskich, follows the regular declension pattern for masculine inanimate adjectives, whereas the feminine takes a different vowel stem in some forms. The form is used most often with nouns that denote collective entities, such as “informacje” (information), “badania” (studies), “pasy” (bands), “zasoby” (resources), and “systemy” (systems).

In modern medical writing, the form lekarskich can appear in news reports, academic papers, and legal texts. While it technically functions as a modifier, it is sometimes abbreviated in vocabulary lists and glossaries as “lekars.” Proper usage requires adherence to Polish orthography, including the use of the letter “s” instead of “ss” in the –ski suffix, as in lekarski. The form is not typically used as a stand‑alone noun; it appears only in adjectival contexts. The term is widely understood by Polish‑speaking audiences and is considered a neutral, professional descriptor of content related to the medical field.
