Personalnych

Personalnych is the Polish adjective form derived from personalny, used to describe things related to personnel or people in general. It most often appears in compound phrases and in legal or administrative language. The form personalnych is typically encountered with nouns that require a genitive plural or in other inflected contexts, such as danych personalnych or danych personalnych, where it functions to specify information about people or staff.

Common usages include references to personnel data and staff matters. For example, data-related phrases such as dane personalne or dane osobowe denote information about individuals, with the genitive form appearing as danych personalnych or danych osobowych in different sentence structures. In HR and organizational contexts, personalnych appears in expressions like zasoby personalne (staff resources) or kadra personalna (the personnel team), where the adjective describes aspects related to employees or staff.

Etymology and nuance: personalny comes from a Latin root (persona) via French personnel, and in Polish it is often associated with the realm of staff, workforce, or administrative data. It is commonly contrasted with osobowy, another Polish adjective meaning personal or private, but with slightly different nuance. Osobowy tends to foreground the individual, while personalny is frequently linked to organizational or personnel-related contexts.

In contemporary Polish usage, data privacy standards typically favor osobowe forms in official texts (dane osobowe). However, personalnych remains correct in many contexts, especially in phrases tied to staff, human resources, or older or broad stylistic usage.
