ciennych

Ciennych is a Polish grammatical form of the adjective cienny. It is the genitive plural and the accusative plural form, used when the noun it modifies is plural and appears in those cases. For example, in the phrase tkanin ciennych, the meaning is “thin fabrics.” The form ciennych therefore signals that the noun is plural and in either the genitive or accusative case.

In meaning, cienny generally corresponds to the English “thin” or “narrow.” It can describe physical thickness, such as fabrics or membranes, and it can also be used metaphorically to express a sense of delicacy, fragility, or small margins in certain contexts.

As a dependent adjective, cienny must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case. Thus, in other grammatical situations the adjective will take different endings, while ciennych specifically marks the plural genitive or plural accusative. The term therefore functions primarily within the broader system of Polish adjective declension rather than as a standalone lexical entry.

Usage notes: ciennych is encountered mainly in descriptive or technical writing, such as discussions of materials, textures, or dimensions, where plural nouns appear in the genitive or accusative. It appears alongside other forms of cienny, following standard Polish agreement rules for adjectives.
