Obecnych

Obecnych is a form of the Polish adjective obecny, meaning present, current, or existing. In usage, obecny describes a noun, while obecnych is a declined form used in specific grammatical cases. Specifically, obecnych is the genitive plural and the accusative plural masculine personal form. It is used when referring to groups of people who are present or to describe those present as a group, particularly in formal or official language.

In practice, obecnych appears in contexts such as meeting minutes, reports, or attendance lists. For example: “W protokole zapisano, że obecnych było dwudziestu.” This means that twenty people were present. Another common construction is “obecnych członków,” meaning “the present members,” as in lists or voting records. The form thus marks presence and functions within the sentence to denote attendance or status of a group.

Notes on grammar and variation: obecnych agrees with masculine personal plural nouns in genitive or accusative case. For feminine or neuter groups, or with non-person nouns, other forms are used, such as obecne for plural feminine or neuter contexts. The base adjective is obecny, with related terms including obecność (presence) and the adverb obecnie (currently). The word is a standard part of Polish grammar and is widely found in formal discourse describing attendance and current status.
