Stuleciach

Stuleciach is the locative plural form of the Polish noun stulecie, which means "century." In Polish, stuleciach is used in constructions that refer to long spans of time—specifically, timescales that extend over multiple centuries.

In grammar, stulecie has several forms; its plural nominative is stulecia, and its locative plural—the form used after prepositions—is stuleciach. This form appears after prepositions such as w ("in"), po ("after/over"), or w ciągu (over). The phrase "w stuleciach" is common in historical writing to denote long-term developments.

Although a common grammatical form in Polish, stuleciach does not denote a standalone concept in English. When translating into English, it is typically rendered as "in the centuries" or "over the centuries."

Examples:

In Polish: W stuleciach dziejów ludzkość dokonała wielu odkryć. Po stuleciach badań doszło do nowych odkryć.

Translation: Over the centuries of history, humanity has made many discoveries. After centuries of research, new discoveries followed.
