Nieprawdziwych

Nieprawdziwych is a Polish adjective form meaning not true or false. It is the genitive plural form of the base adjective nieprawdziwy, which describes something as untrue, fictitious, or not in accord with reality. The word is used in contexts where the described nouns are plural and in the genitive case, or as the accusative plural for masculine personal nouns, since Polish often mirrors the genitive form in that role.

Etymology and form: nieprawdziwy is built from the prefix nie- (negation) and the root prawdziwy, derived from prawda (truth). Therefore nieprawdziwy literally means “not true.” The form nieprawdziwych aligns with Polish grammar rules for adjectives in the genitive plural, and serves as the appropriate modifier for corresponding plural nouns in that case.

Usage: Nieprawdziwych is commonly employed in journalism, political discourse, and everyday speech to characterize statements, rumors, information, or claims as untrue. It often appears in phrases such as nieprawdziwych plotek (false rumors), nieprawdziwych faktów (false facts), or nieprawdziwych informacji (false information), typically in contexts discussing misinformation or verification.

See also: The related adjective prawdziwy (true) and the noun nieprawda (lie or falsehood). Phrases contrasting nieprawdziwych with nieprawda emphasize falsehood versus truth.

Note: Because nieprawdziwych is a plural genitive form, it is not used for singular nouns or in nominative positions. For singular masculine, feminine, or neuter forms, different endings apply (nieprawdziwy, nieprawdziwa, nieprawdziwe).
