Spadkach

Spadkach is the locative plural form of the Polish noun spadek. In Polish grammar, spadek has several related meanings and uses, and spadkach is the form you would encounter after prepositions that govern the locative case, such as w or po, when discussing contexts described by spadek.

The primary senses of spadek are twofold. First, spadek can mean inheritance, specifically the property, money, or rights that pass from a deceased person to heirs as part of succession. Second, spadek also denotes a decline or decrease in quantity, value, level, or intensity, such as a fall in prices, temperatures, or statistics. In technical disciplines, spadek can also refer to a slope or rate of change of a function or physical quantity, and in economics or finance it is commonly used in expressions related to downward trends.

As a grammatical form, spadkach does not denote a separate concept by itself; it is the locative plural form used to describe situations involving spadek in a sentence. Common collocations include phrases like w spadkach cen (in declines of prices), w spadkach wartości (in declines in value), or po spadkach wartości akcji (after declines in stock value). The use of spadkach is thus determined by the syntactic requirements of the locative case and the semantic domain of the surrounding discourse.

Etymologically, spadek derives from a root related to falling or descending, shared with related Slavic languages; the locative plural form spadkach follows standard Polish noun declension rules.
