Odkrytych

Odkrytych is a Polish linguistic form that appears as part of two related grammatical functions. It is the genitive plural and the accusative plural masculine personal form of the adjective past participle odkryty, and it is also the past passive participle form of the verb odkryć (to discover or uncover). In use, odkrytych describes nouns or phrases that have undergone the action of discovering or uncovering and are in plural form in contexts requiring genitive or accusative cases.

Etymology and morphology. The base is the verb odkryć, formed with the prefix od- (indicating reversal or completion) and the root kryć (to hide). The related adjective odkryty means “discovered” or “uncovered.” The form odkrytych is the plural ending used with masculine personal nouns in genitive or accusative plural and with the corresponding participle usage. It is not a standalone noun; rather, it functions as a declined form that agrees with the noun it modifies.

Usage. Odkrytych commonly appears in written and spoken Polish to indicate that certain items have been discovered or uncovered. It can be found in scientific reports, historical descriptions, journalism, and literature, where the discovery status of multiple items is being stated. The form is typically preceded by a determiner or numeral and followed by nouns in plural genitive or accusative cases, such as odkrytych źródeł, odkrytych błędów, or similar constructions.

Notes. Odkrytych is used only as a declined form and does not function as a proper noun; its meaning depends on the context and the noun it modifies.
