Wodoodpornych

Wodoodpornych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective wodoodporny, meaning waterproof or water-resistant. This form is used when the modified noun is plural and in a case other than the nominative, such as genitive or accusative, in Polish sentences. The base form wodoodporny refers to objects designed to resist water, and wodoodpornych appears in phrases like obudowy wodoodpornych urządzeń.

Etymology and meaning: the word combines woda (water) with odporny (resistant). As an attributive adjective, wodoodporny describes materials, devices, clothing, and constructions that limit water intrusion. In Polish, different gender and number forms exist (for example, wodoodporny, wodoodporna, wodoodporne), with wodoodpornych serving as the genitive plural form.

Usage and context: wodoodpornych commonly appears in technical, consumer, and marketing language. Examples include obudowy wodoodpornych urządzeń elektronicznych (cases of water-resistant electronic devices) or cechy wodoodpornych telefonów (features of water-resistant phones). The term is often contrasted with wodoszczelny, where wodoszczelny implies a higher degree of sealing and often complete watertightness, depending on the context.

See also: wodoodporność (water resistance), wodoodporny (base form), wodoszczelny (watertight). The distinction between these terms is relevant in product specifications, certifications, and descriptions of protective enclosures.
