Wykadu

Wykadu is the genitive singular form of the Polish noun wykład, which means a lecture or talk. It appears in phrases that denote possession, relation, or context with a noun phrase: for example, "temat wykładu" (the topic of the lecture) or "czas wykładu" (the time of the lecture). It is also the form used after prepositions that require the genitive case, such as "podczas wykładu" (during the lecture) or "bez wykładu" (without a lecture). The inflection of wykład follows standard Polish masculine nouns and changes across cases; wykadu is specifically used in the genitive singular.

In educational contexts, wykład refers to a structured instructional talk, typically delivered by a lecturer to an audience of students. Lectures are one of several formats in higher education, often contrasted with seminars or practical sessions and with online or recorded content. A university schedule may list multiple wykłady per semester, sometimes with distinct topics, speakers, and locations. With the growth of distance learning, wykłady are frequently offered online, in live streams or as recorded videos.

The term wykład is common in Polish media and academic communications, and its genitive wykadu appears in formal writing, such as program bulletins, abstracts, and event descriptions. Related terms include wykładowca (lecturer), wykładowy (lecture-related), and wykładnia (interpretation or exposition). Wykadu should be understood as a grammatical form rather than a separate concept.
