Wirtualni

Wirtualni is the masculine plural form of the Polish adjective wirtualny, meaning "virtual." In Polish, wirtualny describes things that exist in a computer-simulated or non-physical sense, and it appears in many technical, academic, and everyday terms. The word is used in other Slavic languages with similar roots to denote digital or simulated phenomena.

In technology and computing, wirtualny is widely used in phrases such as wirtualna rzeczywistość (virtual reality), wirtualna maszyna (virtual machine), and środowisko wirtualne (virtual environment). It also appears in contexts like wirtualny dysk (virtual disk) and wirtualne serwery (virtual servers). The term helps distinguish between physical and simulated forms of hardware, software, or spaces.

In media, culture, and everyday language, wirtualni or wirtualny are used to describe online or computer-mediated experiences, such as wirtualni użytkownicy (virtual users), wirtualne społeczności (virtual communities), or wirtualne postacie (virtual characters). The concept is central to discussions about online identities, digital culture, and the impact of technology on social interaction.

Wirtualni can also function as a proper noun or branding element. Some organizations, products, or media projects may adopt the capitalized form Wirtualni as a name, though such usages vary by context and are not standardized.
