Perspektyw

Perspektyw is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun perspektywa, meaning “perspective,” “viewpoint,” or “prospect.” It appears in phrases that require the genitive plural, such as after negation or with certain constructions, for example “brak perspektyw” (no prospects) or “nie ma perspektyw dla młodych” (there are no prospects for young people). In translation, perspektyw is typically rendered as “prospects” or “perspectives,” depending on context.

Etymology and sense: The Polish perspektywa is derived from Latin perspectiva, via European languages such as French perspective or German Perspektive. The term originally referred to sight and optics and later acquired figurative uses for future possibilities.

Usage and examples: Common collocations include “perspektywy rozwoju” (development prospects), “perspektywy inwestycji” (investment prospects), and “perspektywy na rynku pracy” (prospects in the labor market). The form perspektyw is especially frequent in journalism, reports, and academic prose, where the author discusses future outcomes, forecasts, or strategic options.
