Mleczny

Mleczny is a Polish adjective meaning milky or dairy-related. It is derived from mleko, meaning milk, with the adjective-forming suffix -ny. In Polish, mleczny describes things connected with milk or dairy products, such as mleczny smak (milky taste) or produkty mleczne (dairy products). The term is commonly encountered in everyday language and on product labeling.

One well-known use of the related noun phrase is bar mleczny, literally "milk bar," a type of inexpensive, often government- or cooperative-run restaurant that offered basic Polish dishes and dairy-based foods during the 20th century; the term has become a cultural reference within Poland.

Mleczny also appears as a surname and is used in business and place names to evoke dairy associations, though it does not designate a single widely recognized place or brand internationally.
