Otwartych

Otwartych is a form of the Polish adjective otwarty, meaning open. It is used when describing plural nouns that appear in the genitive plural or locative plural. In practice this occurs in phrases such as nie ma otwartych drzwi (there are no open doors) or w otwartych oknach (in open windows). The exact form reflects the noun’s case rather than a change in meaning.

In Polish, adjectives decline for gender, number and case, so otwartych coexists with other forms such as otwarty (masculine singular), otwarta (feminine singular), and otwarte (neuter plural or certain other plural contexts). The choice of otwartych depends on the syntactic role of the noun it modifies: when the noun is in genitive or locative cases in plural, otwartych is used.

In contemporary usage, otwartych appears across domains where openness is described, including architecture, journalism and policy discourse. It is commonly encountered in phrases relating to openness or transparency, and it often appears in discussions about open data, where the possessive or descriptive form appears as otwartych danych in genitive plural. While the semantic core remains the same—openness—the exact form signals grammatical case and agreement with the noun it modifies.

Overall, otwartych functions as a standard inflected form of otwarty, centered on plural nouns in genitive or locative cases, and is a common element in everyday and technical Polish.
